Hi all,

I decided that i wanted to install CM2 Italian League Edition and used DOSBox to do so. I looked at the 60 sec guide from a previous post on here to set it up.

It installed fine but will not run.

i typed the following commands into DOSBox:

mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\DOSBox stuff\CM2_ITA"

mount D "D:\" -T cdrom

I then switched to the C:\ drive and firstly typed "GO.bat" then "CM2.exe", both started to run it but then the DOS box disappeared.

Any help much appreciated??

Not sure if it makes any difference, but that uppercase -T is a bit unusual. Try with -t instead.

Can you start DOSBox from CMD-prompt?

it didnt make any difference when the "t" was lower case.

when i mounted both drives and then typed "GO.bat" the box changed as though it was starting to load (see image) then disappeared.

Why would i need to start DOSbox from a CMD prompt?

Because it is not helpful when DOSBox closes without a trace. When started from a CMD-prompt you stand a better chance of catching any error messages from DOSBox.

So - can you start DOSBox from CMD-prompt?

I might be being a little stupid here but if i open a cmd prompt (wich i can by typing cmd in the run box) isnt that just the same as running dos box?

If so what do i do from here?

(Thanks for this help by the way!)

No.

Do this:

Run => cmd.exe

C:\>cd "%ProgramFiles%\DOSBox-0.72"
C:\>dosbox.exe -noconsole

Start CM2 and wait for DOSBox to disappear.

C:\> type stdout.txt
C:\> type stderr.txt

Then tell us what stdout.txt and stderr.txt contained. You may also open them in Notepad if you prefer that:

C:\> notepad stdout.txt
C:\> notepad stderr.txt
