Hi, Im a newbie, I have been reading for 4 hours and I am still stuck!
I have mounted my cdrom :

Z:\>mount D "D:\" -t cdrom
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as CDRom D:\

Okay, no problem.

Now when I want to install the game, i tried:

D:dir /w

I found a lot of files. In all manuals it says I can just type the name of the of the exe file and it would install. But nothing happens...

Can anyone help me? I really would like to play Soliers at war, and Stonekeep! Thanks in advance!

That's a Windows game. DOSbox is for DOS games.

no problems to install it in xp but you need a slow down program (like cpu killer) because it runs too fast.

What about Virtual PC 2007? You'll need a Windows license, thought.
