I've got a CD with Net Zone on it (a DOS/W95 game, v1.97) but I can't start it in DOSBox (version 0.74). here's the situation:
I'm on WinXP with a DVD/CD drive.
Mounting and running Net Zone from the CD doesn't work, all it says is that it couldn't open the ERROR.LOG file.
One thing I found is that configuration tools on the CD can't access their own resources.
I can successfully install it to my Hard Drive and run configuration tools without any problems. But the main program "CYBER.exe" doesn't run (obviously because I'm on the NT framework).
When I try to run Net Zone from my Hard Drive through DOSBox, it pops up the error "CD drive is not installed", this is possibly because it's a DVD/CD drive, not a dedicated CD drive.
I've attached a screenshot if I wasn't quite clear.
One funny thing I tried doing was running the installer on my Hard Drive with DOSBox, it asked where to install it to and showed the virtual hard drive it was mounted to and 250MB of space, but it wouldn't install because "there wasn't enough space" (the game is only 50MB)
Got any suggestions on how to get it running? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
