Hi,
ive copied the cd to drive and run install.exe from dosbox, but the installer aborts with:
Can't open file: QICKSTRT.SAV (Free translation from the german error)
Jagged\ Alliance is the cdroot, so the file is there...but why does the installer abort?
Jagged\ Alliance/ROOT/QICKSTRT.SAV
greets
how did you mount everything ?
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
i did a
cp -r /mnt/cd/* /hom/myuser/dos/Jagged\ Alliance
then i started dosbox
mount c /home/myuser/dos
c:
cd jagg..~1
install.exe
yeah that is probably not going to work
most installers want to be run from D and install on C (and D mounted as cdrom)
So try this
mount c /home/myuser/dos
mount d "/home/myuser/dos/Jagged Alliance" -t cdrom
d:
install
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
thx, worked.
Hello,
i am experiencing the same problem and although your post helped me to get pass the "Can't open file QICKSTRT.SAV" error, now it stuck at a new one reading : "Can't open file DOS4GW.EXE for output!".
The file IS located at the /ROOT directory of the game files, and although i tried to mount it from the virtual CD-ROM and from hard drive (both with -t cdrom options) it couldn't find it.
im running WIN 7 64bit and trying to install to c:/program files (x86)
any help please ?
