Hi
I'm new to DosBox so likely this is a simple issue.
I will be grateful for any help on the following:
I've mounted C drive as C and can display the directory contents in DosBox.
I launch the program from DosBox using the bat file below, but I get the error message: "ERROR: Invalid path specified in AQT environment variable"
Then the program stops.
Thanks in advance

AQ.BAT

SET AQT=C:\AQTESOLV
AQTESOLV

By using the "SET" command (in laymen's terms), you are "telling" DOS where to look for that environment variable.
Is there a folder called "AQTESOLV" on your C: drive?

Yes there is. I
I did this:
mount C C:\aqtestolv
C:
AQ

The program started, but it gave the error msg and would not contine.

I presume that the batch file only contains the two lines that you specified in your original post, namely:
SET AQT=C:\AQTESOLV
AQTESOLV

Since you mounted your C:\AQTESOLV folder as C:\, you need to edit your AQ.BAT file to only state:
SET AQT=C:\
AQTESOLV
