I am trying to play Time Commando. Using the wiki guide, i have mounted the game folder, and changed Z:\ to C:\. When i try the next step, CD TimeCom, it says it is unable to change the directory. Can someone help me out?

actually i think i got it. I hit MD TimeCom then tried CD TimeCom. Now it reads: C:\TimeCom>

But i have a new problem. Inside the folder there are 2 application programs "Install" and "Setup" both do the same thing, they bring me to Time Commando's Menu, where i can hit Play or Install/uninstall. Hitting "play" doesn't do anything.

When i try to activate anything within the TimeCom folder nothing happens. (I am using DOSBox 0.72)

There is a readme that says "AutoRun" with a bunch of commands, but none of them work in DOSBox:

[autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=timeco.ico
shell\verb0\command=setup.exe INSTALL
shell\verb0=&Install
shell\verb1\command=setup.exe UNINSTALL
shell\verb1=&Uninstall
shell\verb2\command=setup.exe PLAY
shell\verb2=&Play
shell\verb3\command=notepad.exe read.me
shell\verb3=&Read Docs

buy the game and it will work. Downloading games is not legal unless the publisher allows it, and we can't help you with downloaded games.

You know, most people don't understand the differences between downloading, uploading, and just plain loading.

This thread has outlived its usefulness.
