Has anyone got this to work on a Windows 7 64 bit machine (or even a 32 bit?)
I try to run the install file which is disc.bat and I get a Sound Configuration screen with a "Drive to Install" input screen with a C in it and flashing underscore.
Whatever I put in it defaults back to C. If I hit enter it saays Cannot find Discworld CD press any key and I end up up in the DOS window at C:\DISCWLD.CD\SAVE> which is kinda where the game installs to.
Bit confused.

You are trying to run DOS game in Win7 cmd prompt. Of course this will not work.
For this exact case - the game want MSCDEX for a cd assess.
Use DOSBox or a virtual PC.

Asus P4P800 SE/Pentium4 3.2E/2 Gb DDR400B,
Radeon HD3850 Agp (Sapphire), Catalyst 14.4 (XpProSp3).
Voodoo2 12 MB SLI, Win2k drivers 1.02.00 (XpProSp3).

Follow the 60 Seconds Guide, or just use ScummVM.
