How did you exactly mounted all your drives? Write down all commands used here, please.

This is the command I used to mount my hard drive folder:

mount c ~/Documents/dosboxHD

(I have this in the autoexec portion of the dosbox.conf file)

This is the command I tried to mount my cd image:

imgmount D "~/Documents/CD1.iso" -t iso

(this didn't work btw, DosBox said the file wasn't found yet it was definitely there and the path was correct)

First of all, using folder names with no more than 8 characters long is advisable (Documents is longer).

Secondly, what does that ~ symbol means?

Try something like:

mount c c:\docs\dosboxHD

imgmount d c:\docs\CD1.iso -t iso

He's on OSX (~ is home), but indeed leaving out the " " when mounting might help.
If not, please post the exact error message.

Seeing as Documents works fine with the mount command I don't see why it should make any difference with the imgmount command, unless the programmer strangely decided to impose some limit on one and not the other.

~ is the standard unix / OSX shorthand for my home directory, so instead of having to type out /usr/people/myuseraccount/Documents it's just ~/Documents. It works for mount, so again it should work for imgmount too.

C: is irrelevant for Mac OSX, there is no such thing as C: in this OS or any type of unix. The closest you would get is Macintosh HD, but I tried that already. I think this may be a fundamental omission in the porting of DosBox to OSX, I was hoping someone from the porting team or OSX DosBox user base would have a work around or know a trick to force Command & Conquer to install 😀

I tried without the quotes, it said the same thing:

Image file not found.

I even tried putting the iso file in my home dir and used this command:

imgmount d ~/CD1.iso -t iso

Don't know if somebody of the "porting team" is around here, maybe look
into the files of your port if somebody is mentioned there.

You can try to mount the iso from a mounted drive, ie. copy the iso
to ~/Documents/dosboxHD/xyz.iso and then go to c: and mount
that xyz.iso (something like imgmount d xyz.iso -t iso).
