I am having some trouble trying to install and expansion pack to a game alread installed and working with DOSBox.

I get as far as the installation screen which allows me to select the game directory however the expansion installer gives me this error:

Could not find the installed game files.

Please select the drive and directory where you installed the game.

How can I over come this?

In DOSBox, I mount the game directory, then mount the disc drive and run the installer. I have tried it without mounting the game directory however the installer only listed the Z:\ drive.

I don't know why people think the game name is not important...

Anyways, reinstall the game by following the 60 seconds guide from the guides section of t he forum, once finished, keep the mountings and try the expansion installer.
Reason: the installer probably expects the game in a certain directory of the root or maybeinany directory of the root but not the root itself. By mounting the game folder the game is placed in root and thus probably disturbs the installer. I advise reinstalling the game to avoid problems later on if the mountings don't match anymore.

Hey, sorry, it was the NATO Fighters expansion for Advanced Tactical Fighters. I will give it another shot.
