You forgot to mount the CD-ROM drive. Here's how.

Basic cdrom support: mount D D:\ -t cdrom […]

Basic cdrom support:
mount D D:\ -t cdrom

SDL-cdrom support:
mount D D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0

Ioctl cdrom support:
mount D D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

ASPI cdrom support:
mount D D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -aspi

By the way, IIRC you don't need DOSBox to run WarCraft II on XP.

OK. Here's what I did:

1. mount D D:\ -t cdrom
2. D:
3. dir.exe

but there's no war2.exe or anything like that to run the game. There are only 5 files, like SETUP.EXE , INSTALL.EXE, WAR2ED95.EXE, UVCONFIG.EXE and WAR2EDIT.EXE

I tried to type install.exe , for example, but dosbox just crashed. What did I miss? Also, am I using the right version of DosBox (0.70)? Or should I use, 0.63 or 0.65?

What do I do next?

Thanks for the link, but I am not technical at all and I already have like 20 questions. The instructions are too complicated for me. Is there another, simplier way to make DOSbox recognize that my CD IS in drive D already?

What do I do/type? Anybody?

This IS the nontechnical one.

Anyways, mount the cdrom, mount an empty directory as c: and then
install the game (within dosbox, which is important).

I did it!!! I followed the instruction on that link and the game ran perfectly when I installed it from DosBox.

Then I played the game a bit, saved the game and quit.

Now, how do I start the game again? I mean that the game has been installed successfully. Now, everytime I want to play the game again, what do I do? How do I begin? What do I type in DosBox?

I am asking because after I quit the game, I wanted to play it again after a while, so I launched the DosBox as usual.

And then I typed:

1. mount C C:\War2

2. C:

3. dir.exe

...and it said that "file was not found"

What did I do wrong? And What exactly should I type?

Never mind. I have figured it out 😀

Thanks

I do have one last question. The sound is too loud in this game. How do I make the sound lower?

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind. I figured that one too 😀 Sorry 😀
