I have just downloaded DOSBox 0.63 for the same reason!
(i saw the dd cd sitting there in the rack crying "y dont u play me anymore?!")
However, i didnt have enough "memory" under XP to install it (complained during installation),
and as i have other dos games, i decided to try DOSBox...
anyway, to cut a long story short,
i also get hung up at the CD check (during installation)...
The setup program runs fine, checking memory and some other stuff, and then
stops, complaining:
"You require an mscdex driver installed to run this game"
However, MSCDEX is installed and running?!
(as stated after running the mount comands... i have used all cd mounting options)
Could this because the installer is looking for a specific version, or doesnt
recognise the one DOSBox uses?! If so, is it possible to provide a workaround, for
example finding another mscdex style driver? (is that the correct term? as im not even
sure what it does!)
The destruction derby installer i have is Psygnosis v1.6 (copyright 1995)...
im not sure of the game version as i havent installed it yet! (and the manual is
wafty... it was in one of the silver packs or something... you know those ones... dd2 is now released
so we will flog you this game for half price and call it a classic - actually, in this case, dd is a classic!)
Anyway, any help or insight would be very much appreciated!
