I tried installing the attached demo in DosBox CVS 11/11 but it kept on erroring out in the install.bat claiming that there wasn't enough disk space.

It works fine in ykhwong's latest CVS.

It looks to me like it's not parsing

:installit echo. deltree %1\mw2demo echo. echo Installing game files... echo. md %1\mw2demo move compress.exe %1\mw2demo copy in […]

:installit
echo.
deltree %1\mw2demo
echo.
echo Installing game files...
echo.
md %1\mw2demo
move compress.exe %1\mw2demo
copy install.bat %1\mw2demo
%1
cd \mw2demo
compress
del compress.exe
del install.bat
cls

and just goes straight to this:

if not exist %1\mw2demo\vfx\vesa768.dll goto spaceout

Compess.exe is just a compressed file which can easily be decompressed but it would be nice if the installer worked. 😀

I did some work on choice. I wasn't aware that are differences between ykwongs version of choice and mine.

I think DosFreak is talking about the fact that a specific dosbox build should be used to run install.bat without problem.

I saw DELTREE and MOVE commands (that are do not officially exist in dosbox now) in the batchfile source presented above.
I put MOVE command which is mostly the same as COPY into my build. It might make difference.
