Hello, I'm trying to get Voyager's Ephemeral Films 1931-1960 to work on Windows 3.1 using DOSBox, I got an ISO from the Internet Archive. It appears to work fine up to installation, I just use imgmount for the file, nothing out of the ordinary - I've followed the exact same steps for other ISO files and it worked.
However, after it installs, I click on the icon and get an error message saying it "can't find Ephemeral Films CD". Any idea what could be causing this?

Thank you!

Try mounting it in Windows and then on DOSBox only add this:

mount d d:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

Change "d:\" to whatever drive letter Windows assigns the mounted image file, i.e. "e:\" or "h:\" etc.

Change the number at "-usecd" to whatever number appears left of the assigned drive letter when you enter "mount -cd" into DOSBox.

This worked! Thank you so much!
