I have the original CD on my hands I copy the content to one folder. Then I mount it with dosbox.
I go to the folder and execute setup.exe in order to begin installation but it tell me program cant run in Dos mode 😒

Maybe question is So stupid but im new with the program.....so how can i make it work? 🙁

By the way I also try one front end, the dosshell, I add the game, the folder and file, I double click and....nothing it just do nothing....

Thanks in advance.

oh....but I heard dosbox also run old windows games......then seems I have been fooled.
There is no way I can make it work? Im using Win7 64bit, and yeah, I try all compatibility modes 🙁

DOSbox only runs DOS games. You are trying to install a WINDOWS game in DOSbox.

The DOS version had a Win32-based installer, too, IIRC. It had to inject shortcuts somehow. i'll have to check again

Windows 3.1 can run in DOSBox.

Z is listed as a DOS game. Perhaps you need to install it through Windows then mount it in DOSBox.
