So, i created directory vanhatpelit/Lurideng/ and opened dosbox(0.73)
mount c c:\vanhatpelit

mount d d:/ -t cdrom it say MSCDEX: Mounted subdirectory:limited support

d:/run

d:\cd lurideng

d:\install install completed

c:\games\lurid

c:\games\lurid\lland or dos4gw not sure which is right

DOS4GW gives me this:
DOS/4GW projected mode run-time version 1.97
copyright (c) rational systems, inc . 1990-1994
DOS/4GW fatal error (1004): syntax error DOS4GW <excutable>

and LLAND:
DOS/4GW projected mode run-time version 1.97
copyright (c) rational systems, inc . 1990-1994
ERROR: Unable to find data files.
Please check if path to cd-rom drive is valid,
or re-install game, if cd-rom drive(s) changed.
current path to data files: "c:\"

Where did i go wrong?

I edited answer to original post.

Okay this might be cause of the problem, because i didnt really understanded this. So i downloaded this game and burned the games folder to cd. I am not sure if that was nessesary thing to do, because i had the game already on my computer .

Create an empty directory on your physical c-drive, mount that as c in dosbox.
Mount your cdrom as you did above, then install the game.

Please post the EXACT steps you perform, including the response of dosbox.
Right before starting the installer take a screenshot and append that to your
posting if there are problems.

Do the same when starting the game.

This problem should be easily solveable by using an original copy of the
game and not some downloaded thing.

My original cd has scraches and it doesnt work. You really cant find this game anywhere legally. Good thing is that i have demo cd which has Lurid Land in it, i think there is like 4 maps.

Sorry for you then. Other than that, try to recover your original CD.

I happen to have the original/full english one with me, so I believe that sharing it here will be ok.

No it's not unless you happen to be the copyright holder. Otherwise remove the links.
