I'm using DOSbox 0.65, but whenever I try to run this game dosbox says:

GAME, Error: SysInit (Couldn't open archive).

Can anyone help me? Thanks 😐

Check game.dat (AFAIR) and put correct path in it (a dosbox path, NOT real path on your host OS!). Or even using a dot will work. If you don't have GAMEDATA subdirectory, your archive is packed without this information (create that subdir and copy all files to it).

For original, i.e. cd version be sure to mount cd-rom properly (RTFM!) and install.

yup it seems he's using a downloadet (cd-rip) version, otherwise the paths whould set correctly after the installation automaticly.

one correction: the file you need to edit is called INSTALL.DAT.

I have the original game on CD, so no worries there. I can now run past all the settings the game sets first. The next problem is that DOSbox gives me another error when it tries to actually load the game:

"Exit to error: CPU_SetSegGeneral: Stack segment zero"

After that DOSbox crashes / shuts down.

Any idea how to solve this one?

no sry, never got that error in dosbox.
but you can:
-try different cores (normal, dynamic)
-check if your cycle settings are to high/low (or set it to auto)
-patch skynet to v1.01
-replace dos4gw with dos32a in your skynet.exe (search the forum for that)
-or if nothing helps, run skynet with VDMSound, like i do. 😉

Thanks for all the help, the game is running with both solutions.. only a bit slow (no problem, I have no more questions).
