When i try to run the game, the screen gets black, an mouse pointer (not the normal one) is visible for a very short time, and the game crashes to dos, without any message. Thats because i thought about a graphics issue like vesa driver or something.

This doesn´t work either.... same problem. Maybe the problem is that the device is a retropie (=Raspberry Pi) and the game is one of the last dos games (1997!).... Maybe the graphic power of this little box isn´t capable of playing the game. It has (for that time) a pretty good graphic. Then i have …

The game is sold, case is closed. I found a second hand re-buying site which payed me more than i paid for the game 😉 Sold some things there months ago, it was good. So i don´t have to mess around with ebay 😉

Yes, i think so too. I tried to copy an installed game, but the error remains.... So i decided to give up, and re-sell the game on Ebay. It was a nice try, to get alle 3 YDKJ´s which would run on Win 3.x, now i can play only 2 of them, which is ok for me... 😎 Thanks for all the help

I did the same thing as mentioned in the GOG config.... the game is stored in a folder named "TLE", the subfolder is named "DATA". I did: mount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/TLE/DATA" -t cdrom The mounting worked. And i used exactly the dosbox config values, used by gog. But the game doesn´t start …

Renaming the file to "iso" doesn´t solve the problem. But now i was able to mount the directory at least.... Problem is, the game doesn´t start and delievers no error message.... GOG does just the obvious things: mount C ".." MOUNT d "..\data" -t cdrom cls c: express.exe exit

I installed the game on a windows machine and copied the files over to the dosbox device (RetroPie Linux). The game runs …

No, of course not. I get basicly the same error message but with the executable i tried. So when i try setup.exe i get the error message with "setup.exe" but when i try "install" i get the error but of course with "install"

There are indeed more than one.... One is called "Install!" in the main folder of the CD (doesn´t work) and another one is in the INstall folder called "Setup.exe", which comes to the same result. I tried both executables and both did the same problem.
