The readme tells you how to mount, it works just fine in dosbox.

I wasn't implying it didn't... for a newbie, it is somewhat easier under ScummVM however.

You have to point scummvm to the directory where indy4 is.
Maybe post a file listing of your indy directory here.

The indy4 directory should have files like atlantis.000/atlantis.001,
an exe file and some .ims files, check that they're present.

Well in that indy4 directory 😀
Like when you have a
c:\oldgames\indy4
then check that directory what files are present.

You don't need Dosbox, only ScummVM. There is a Readme file included, when you install the program; this should help you get the game running.
If you have further problems you should ask in the forum of Scummvm (http://forums.scummvm.org) and not here!
