First - I realize that this is an alpha version and thus may simply be broken for my machine. But I'll ask anyway...

I'm trying to fix the sound for a number of old games on my machine (Win98, Athlon 2400+, SBLive! Sound card), which run fine otherwise. Following the Alpha install instructions I install VCREDIST.EXE fine, and reboot.

When I run INSTALL.BAT in the VDMSound dir, I get the following

out of environment space
Please make sure to have *SUCCESSFULLY* installed VCREDIST.EXE (and rebooted) or else this installation may fail!
Bad command or filename (x13)

Any help appreciated.

Throw half the CVs in the bin.

Hello,
You have too much stuff (like "VARIABLE=VALUE") defined in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, try to clean up some.

I think you need a command in config .sys like:
shell=c:\windows\command.com /e:1024 /p
This basically increases the environment size from the default 256 to 1024 which allows more SET commands.
