Following the directions in the DOSbox game info isn't working for me:

Copy INSTALL folder from CD1 to HDD. Apply 1.03 patch. Apply 1.05 patch. Run SETUPV.BAT. Run RIPPER.EXE /v /v3.

I've copied the Install folder from the CD img to the desired folder, and installed both patches with no problems.

However, when I go into DOSbox and run SETUPV.BAT it starts, but then stops with an error of "Error opening file setuptxt.tf"

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that file--I can open it in Notepad and see the text in it, and it is not marked as read-only or archived.

Any ideas?

Nevermind--I got it running. I was looking through the list of files in the folder again and noticed one called "installv.bat". Tried that one on a lark and had a pleasant surprise when it started right up to the installation screen. Game seems to be running just fine.

Thanks anyway!
