Are you trying manually to run pkunzip? Shouldn't the installer take care of this?
I wrote instructions on getting the files off the Ultima 7 floppies at http://exult.sourceforge.net/docs.php#bg_manual maybe that helps

I managed to install it properly, but it will not work with mounting a floppy drive in DOSBox. You need real MS-DOS installed to a hard drive image.

Here is how I did it with the latest SVN :

Start DOSBox with the following :

imgmount c c:\critical\misc\dosbox\msdos6.img
boot c:\critical\misc\dosbox\msdosbt.img priv1.img ... priv6.img

msdos6.img - 504MB hard drive partition, MS-D0S 6.22 installed
msdosbt.img - bootable hard disk image with MS-DOS 6.22

This will use the floppy disk to boot and the hard disk as the target of the install files. Disk 1 will be in drive B:, install it from there. When it asks for more disks, use Ctrl F4 until you get the disk in drive b: (look at the status window). Afterward, you can xcopy the game to a mounted directory to get it off the image.

Privateer's floppy install is working here in SVN with IMGMOUNT, no booting of DOS needed, thanks to rcblanke's multi-floppy patch. 0.74 will reject an attempt to mount multiple floppy images in a single IMGMOUNT command.

As long as none of the files reuse the same name I dump all of them into a single folder and mount that as A:\.

You mean I don't have to go through all that nonsense of booting to real MS-DOS? Sweet. There may be some other hard cases, however, that will resist DOSBox when installing.

Please let us know if you find such a case, GH.
