Hello all.
Yup, another Dungeon Keeper question. I've been trawling through the Internet all day for an answer to this and can't find it, so bear with me if its just an easy answer, cos I certainly can't find one.

Basically, I've Dungeon Keeper Gold (just the one cd 'KDDISK1' mounted on the desktop), and running it through the latest Dosbox on my Intel Mac.
I've Dungeon Keeper installed, patched for AI, and running quite well (up to level 4 and no problems yet) but I can't seem to get the Deeper Dungeons levels working. They're on the cd, but I can't seem to install them. Anytime I try to run deeper.exe or similar, Dosbox asks me to run Install on the cd, but all that does is install the original game, not Deeper Dungeons. And there doesn't seem to be a separate install or setup file for the Deeper Dungeons

Any ideas? Even if you've got a solution for Dosbox on Windows that would help, as the process is broadly the same for the Mac.

According to Mobygames, Dungeon keeper listed as a DOS or windows game, but the deeper dungeons addon is only listed as a windows game.

If this is the case, it will not work in DOSBox. I don't have the game, so I cannot test it myself.

Just to let anyone who comes across this know, I got it working alright through Dosbox.

I had to use a separate specialized Deeper Dungeons cd for some reason, but it works fine then. Something wrong with the installer on the DK Gold cd, I suppose.

No, the games configuration file (found in the installation directory, not the cd) will by default contain a path pointing to the Dungeon Keeper data files on the CD. You need to tweak this path every time you want to switch between DK DD and DK (for the 2 disc version you just have to ensure you use the same drive for either disc since the layout is the same on each disc.)
