I will give you another shot at step by step instructions:
first delete c:\blood again and never ever make this directory again.
Then follow these instructions:
# Create a folder for your game in your My Documents folder - "C:\Documents and Settings\your-user-name\My Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame". (your-user-name should really be the name of your user in Windows)

# Insert the CD with the game in your CD/DVD drive.

# Start DOSBox.

# In DOSBox, tell DOSBox which of your real folders and real drives to use as the emulated DOS drives C: and D:

Z:\>mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\your-user-name\My Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame"
Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\Documents and Settings\your-user-name\My Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame

Z:\>mount D "D:\" -t cdrom
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as CDRom D:\

Z:\>C:
C:\>
Switch to the D: drive and install the game (to C:)

C:\>D:

Have a look at the files with the dir command, and see if you can spot an install or and a setup program or whatever the command to start the installation is called. Check your Manual/Installation Guide for MyGame for the exact command to use.

D:\>dir /w

D:\>install

tell me how far you got with these instructions. Remember to always use these mount commands...

I got blood bowl to work. The only problem was the damn cd. I followed the same instructions that were listed, except on a downloaded version and BOOM, playing the game.

Hmm I am trying to get this game to work and having trouble too. I followed the instructions, and while installing right at the start it freezes. It says :
Installing
D:\Sound\MIDPAK.AD to C:\blood

Strangely there isn't a sound folder.. Midpak.ad is just in the main directory.

If I just try to run BB.exe without installing, I get the same error in dosbox as mentioned "can't load art.wad"

I decided it would be better to add to this thread rather than starting a new one..

It sounds like you have the same version of the game as I do. You should be able to play using bb.exe and not need to install the game.

The path required for art.wad is c:\blood\art\art.wad (at least it is in my version. The error message should tell you the expected path) so you need to make sure the directory structure you have matches this. Try renaming the folder that your game is in to "blood", and make sure that the folder you have mounted as C is the the folder containing your "blood" folder.
