this evening i have been trying to play dune2 again on my toshiba notebook with Vista.. unfortunately, as we all know, this didn't work. now i read about the DOSbox.. great! however, after downloading version 072, and attempting to install it, it gave this NSIS(?) error: (also see attachment)

"The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download ([size=9]mine is 856Kb, downloaded via dosbox.com, several times and this went perfectly okay[/size]) or a virus.

You may want to contact the author of this intaller to obtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line swich (NOT RECOMMENDED)."

does anybody know what could be the problem here and how i can get this solved? i am dying to play "dune 2" and "sensible soccer" etc again!! 😀

well, i tried to download directly, by using "right mouse button", "save as", and now the file is 1.20 Mb. don't know how this is possible, but it seems that it should work now 😀 thank you for your replies!
