i know 🙁 but it just stucks on something and wont even show me the installer 🙁(

the problem is, there isnt real installer like Setup.exe like on some other games, only the install menu(says Needs windows if i mount it with dbox) and the other what should be the installer says Hdm(the name of installer) says this system does no support fullscreen mode if i try to run it with normaly and then when i use it via dosbox it says some text stuff and ends there, if i press anything it makes blank lines

could you be more precise? what do you run and where?

Nothing new can appear on a cd as it is readonly.
post your mountings

i think the swp file can be on a cd, it is just copied to c: later during installation. I think i saw sth like that somewhere and remembered it as i was wondering about it that time.
