I think I have an even better solution 😀

I found a demo of Realms of the Haunting at

http://www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/games/realms … h_demo.zip.html

I downloaded that and tried to get the installer to work with the official DOSBox 0.65, but I got the exact same error as you (see Divide error.png).

Then I tried the upcoming DOSBox 0.66 and the installar completed without a hitch! 😁 And the demo ran flawlessly. Intro video, music, sound effects, moving around - really quick and smooth!

Installing DOSBox 0.66 Release Candidate 2 (rc2) requires 2 steps:

Download and extract 0.66 rc1.
Then run the DOSBox 0.66rc1 nstaller.

When that is done, download and extract 0.66 rc2.
rc2 contains a replacement for dosbox.exe. Copy the rc2 dosbox.exe into the directory where you installed rc1.

Video is goof after I esc out of the intro which freezes. No sound, and my keys will not allow for cycling. But there is always tomorrow. Good night from Florida, USA.

That is great. But the links in your posts takes me to a page which tells me the following:

Those links are for internal use only, dunno why MiniMax posted links there.
Just wait for the next version, and please repost here if it doesn't work then
(or if it does 😉 )

Oops - I rarely enter VOGONS thru the main index. I always go through "since last visit" and forgot that the announcements were for developers and testers only.

Tis ok.. I got the game running in VDMS. All is well except for the quick save keys. I can get them F9 to save and F10 to load. I have a fancy wireless keyboard with functions for every key. I disable those two and had no action when I clicked them in the game. After I reset them to save and open, they each activated the weapon mode. Any ideas.
