Hi, vDosPlus was working, but is now giving error "Incorrect DOS version". I've tried uninstall, reinstall but dosn't help.
This is autoexec.txt - with error italic underlined:

CHCP 862
USE C: C:\CA
USE D: "C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSPRN\"
path C:\sa2000;C:\DOS;C:\DOS\DOSZIP;C:\UTL;C:\DOCHOT;C:\realcob;C:\realcob\ezcob;C:\sa2000\exe;c:\mg-av;D:\
rem 4DOS.COM @C:\vDosPlus\4DOS\4DOS.INI

command /c append.exe
APPEND C:\SA2000;C:\UTL
[i][u]Incorrect DOS version[/u][/i]
echo on
echo "Oh great 1"
VER
[i][u]vDosPlus 2015.11.01 (build 2017.03.15), reported DOS version: 7.10[/u][/i]
alias del=*del /p
alias copy=*copy /r
SET TEMP=%%TEMP%%
IF NOT EXIST %TEMP%\NUL SET TEMP=C:.
ECHO.

Any help much appreciated

If I remember correctly, "7.10" is the version of the DOS kernel included with Windows 98. On the other hand, your "PATH" command line includes "C:\DOS", not "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND" as it would be expected for a Windows 98 installation. So you are likely running "append.exe" from something like DOS 6.22 while running IO.SYS from Windows 98. The error seems not related to vDosPlus at all. Your options to recover is to either fix your path to contain the "COMMAND" directory of Windows 98, or you boot from a DOS floppy to use SYS to install the matching IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS to your hard drive.

Thanks very much mkarcher, I'm running Windows 10 where do I find the appropriate "COMMAND" directory?

Thanks for your help

If you have 32bit Windows 10 then your DOS version is 5.50. inside windows own dosbox.

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

This forum is for the official version of DOSBox, not vdosplus. You'll need to ask the people responsible for vdosplus why the above batch file does not run the included commands inside vdosplus using host Windows 10.
