I've searched all the millions of stonekeep postings and I still can't figure this out. 😠
This is what I run in DosBox .63
I installed Stonekeep from the cd.
Stonekeep is in C:\INTRPLAY\STONKEEP

mount "c" "c:\" -ioctl
mount "d" "e:\" -t cdrom -usecd 1 -ioctl

I get the error of Illegal command: E:\data.SK.exe

I also tried it in D-Fend v2. I get the same error. When I use DFend w/ the setup.exe found in C:\INTRPLAY\STONKEEP, I can run the setup and test the sound. So I'm guessing I'm pointing incorrectly to the cd or mounting the cd wrong. Any ways to fix?

BTW its the same error as this guy:
Stonekeep

I could send someone my D-Fend profile for Stonekeep cause VOGONS wont let me attach the .dfe file.
Thanks in advance.

when you do a mount d e:\ -t cdrom
it means that your e:\ becomes d:\ inside dosbox.

In other words, the way the mount command works is that it assigns a virtual drive letter (the first parameter) to a real path (the second parameter) so that DOSBox can access your drives via virtual drive letters that are arranged however you want them to be.

Ok. I understand that concept, but what am I doing wrong? Should I just leave my cdrom drive as E:? Because it is calling it as an E still and I renamed it D? Is that the problem? I'll try it asap when I get back from class.

On your real computer it's E:. To all programs running inside of DOSBox it is D:

You have to install the game and play the game using the same mount settings or else the game will get confused. It's likely that you installed with real E: as DOSBox E: and are now trying to play with real E: as DOSBox D:
