I've been trying to imgmount all 3 iso images for the game harvester.
I'm using DosBox .72. I've read the readme, but I think i'm having trouble interpreting it and applying it to my situation.
My iso files (d1harvester.iso, d2harvester.iso, d3harvester.iso) are in the folder C:\oldgames
I attempted to imgmount all 3 by inputting the following:
Z:\>imgmount d "c:\oldgames\d1harvester.iso c:\oldgamesd2harvester.iso c:\oldgames\d3harvester.iso" -t iso
This results in DosBox saying: The image must be on a host or local drive.
This only happens when i try to mount all 3 images. if I do only one, there isn't any problem.
I'd appreciate any help.

Try with the " removed, you usually need them only if a path contains spaces.

Thank you! That worked.
Now the game mounts fine but it won't run.
When I input harvest.exe I get this message:
Error! {id:04c5} - could not read abm_filename: 1:\graphic\other\wait.abm
So I try installing the game but the default directory isn't working (C:/Harvest)
The installer says it's invalid.
Any suggestions?

Mount an empty directory as c: like "mount c c:\oldgames\cdrive"
where you'll have to create c:\oldgames\cdrive beforehand.

Well, you write:

c:\oldgamesd2harvester.iso

Which lacks a \.

Also, try to avoid mounting files in a folder that you mounted as C drive - I remember running into some problems there.

Harvester definitely works in Dosbox because I ripped the game to my hard drive from the original CDs and it runs fine.
