Ok so I need some help please! Loved this game back in the day, purchased a copy recently but it wont work! Have read two other related threads, followed some ideas suggested and not had much luck.

Ultimate Domain no CD found.
Ultimate Domain issue when trying to start
(the other threads)

Heard about 'Dosbox' and thought what a wonderful idea, sadly after much tinkering, I am yet to get my game, Ultimate Domain, to work. I keep getting the following error, after installing etc:

CD-ROM disk missing or CD-ROM drive not ready.

Tried tinkering with setup many times, but sadly no luck.

Even installed the whole CD onto C: and 'told' Dosbox that the directory to which it was installed was D:, had the same success until I got the same error.

The following are my screenshots of what I have commonly done.

Created sub-directory 'dosprog', and showing CD label 😀

Initial commands issued.

Showing install screen, accessed via commands:
: D:
: install

...and of course we know that the "c:\domain" directory the game thinks it is installing into is actually "c:\dosprog\domain"

..and then the heart ache!!

Hoping for some help! Thanks! 😀
