Hi, I have a legit copy of Ultima Underworld on cd-rom (was bundled with Wing Commander 2)

I have been trying to get it to install on a DOS 6.22 box, but the installer failed saying error copying data.lzh.
That file doesn't exist on the cdrom, however a "data" directory does exist with a bunch of files in it. so I'm thinking whatever company bundled these two games on a cdrom messed up.

I can copy the files to my hard drive and run the game but there's no sound because the sound card isn't configured. If I run uwsound (which configures the sound card) it fails saying it can't find the configuration file. I assume that's because the installer never got a chance to create it.

Does anyone have this game installed and can you post the configuration file (along with the filename) so I can start with that? I have no idea what the config file name is supposed to be or what should be in it and in what format.

Do you have a "SOUND" directory in the UUW directory?

I checked my CD-ROM copy from The Ultimate RPG Archives and found a file not in your list: UW.CFG under folder \DATA
It's a text file with just three lines and 45 bytes:

10 -1 -1 -1 sound
20 -1 -1 -1 speech
30 cuts

EDIT: Shagittarius has UW.CFG as well.

I didnt see any missing files in your directory but I do see some extras, in particular what is Uinstall.exe? Something specific to the version you have?

My UW.cfg reads:

16 -1 -1 -1 sound
22 -1 -1 -1 speech
30 cuts

Uinstall.exe creates uw.cfg. It's the sound setup for Ultima Underworld and is usually installed.

Seems like you should try to run Uinstall.exe

ah yeah that was it. I guess I just glanced at that and read "uninstall" of course if I was thinking I would realize a dos game wouldn't have an uninstaller
thanks!

I guess "0" from the default file stands for "no sound," while other numbers correspond to respective sound and speech devices:

adlib.adv
mt32mpu.adv
pasdig.adv
pasfm.adv
pcspkr.adv
sbdig.adv
sbfm.adv
sbpdig.adv
sbpfm.adv
tandy.adv

And "speech" corresponds to SB, SBP, and PAS only.
