Hi everybody, I am new in this community and also a rookie in dosbox, I need your help.

I'm trying to run an old game using dos box and win31, i mount the "c:\dos" directory and also mount the disk in "d:\". I copied the content of the .iso in the path "c:\dos\mates\IHMATH" and that is the path use to mount as cdrom.

mount c c:\dos
mount d c:\dos\mates\IHMATH -t cdrom

Then i just open win31 and install the game.

c:
cd win31\windows.
win

Win31 starts and i go to run the setup.exe in disk d:\. The installation goes well, it creates a new folder in c:\ with a different path for the main exe file "c:\zeta\IHMATH.exe" in win31. But when i try to run the exe, windows says it requires a cd.

I tried also installing it inside the same path c:\mates but it doesn't work. And when i try to run the "autorun.exe" inside the drive d:\, windows says that the installation is wrong.

Could you help me please? If you need more information just ask.

Thanks!

Hi, maybe the program checks the CDROM's label or something?

You know, you can also mount ISOs directly in DOSBox. 😁

Syntax is
Imgmount d cd.iso -t iso

Or something along these lines.

Thanks a lot!

I don't know why, with the imgmount command it worked. Now I have an audio software problem, with the drivers or something... but the cd problem is solved 😀

I will try to solve the rest. Thanks again!
