ADDiCT - exactly that. I have, ahem, thoroughly tested the game now: it works perfectly both from DOSBox and from SCUMM VM. Thanks again 😉

Bingo! Installed ok :happyhappy: For the record, what it had been doing was saying that installation was unsuccessful, and that it may be because I did not have enough disk space; it needed 4.8 MB. Obviously I had way more free space than this; what I had been trying within DOSBox was to use the …

hmm, why is it saying the attachments are 0 bytes?

DosFreak - I'd already tried just double-clicking on the files in windows (see above). I have just now tried going through the command prompt, and it looked good for a while, then it got back to that thing where it told me that I do not have enough disk space. Qbix - thanks for that! Can you tell …

Kippesoep - thanks for that..... I have tried going through the loop as many times as possible in the hope that it is installing something, but after I've swapped discs nine or ten times it gets back to that thing where it thinks that disc 1 isn't formatted. MiniMax - I've tried to attach the files …

Thanks DosFreak Gave that a go, but when it asks me to press any key after inserting disk 2 (I just press a key without inserting the disk), about a page worth's of command line typing comes up and disappears before I have a chance to read it, and it beeps quietly.

Thanks, MiniMax :blush: No, it just says "3 1/2 Floppy (A: )". I have tried that anyway, but no joy. "install" is 3.5 kB; "_install" is 1.5 kB. Sorry not to understand the language again, but what is a contest? If I run "_install" without using DOSBox, it asks me to insert disk 2, which I do, then …

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. I spent far too many hours last night playing with this, and still have not managed to get it to work... MiniMax - I have tried using SCUMMVM: it works fine with a demo of the game, but cannot recognise the files from the floppy disks as a game, presumably until …

Thanks for the very quick response! By typing: mount A "A:\" -t floppy

Hiya, I've just downloaded DOSBox for the purpose of playing the Secret of MI, but cannot get it to work - I'd appreicate a little help as I'm not as computer/DOS-savvy as the rest of you seem to be...... I have mounted a folder as the C drive OK, and mounted the real A drive as the emulated A drive …
