I did. I tried setting the label to "Disk1" and just "1." Anything else you think I should try?
I had no problem installing from this collection. What I did was take images of the disks and mount them using Virtual Floppy Drive Emulator. Then I mounted the virtual floppy drive in DOSBox and DOSBox had no problem installing the games. When it needed a new disk, I merely changed the mounted disk image using the Virtual Floppy Drive Emulator Program.

No change at all. I still get the message:
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 1.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 2.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 3.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 4.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 5.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 6.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 7.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 8.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 9.
Installation is NOT complete Poke yourself in EYE 10.
What version of DosBox did you use, and with what config settings?
Maybe the install file is corrupted. It was apparently modified in 2004, which seems rather strange, as all of the others were modified in '92. Perhaps it is infected. I would ask someone for the install.exe file of the collection, but that is kind of against forum rules, even though that file only works with the compressed data files.
You should scan it with a virus scanner, especially since you ran it directly in XP.
No infected files found.

What is the real disk label?
Hmm. If you have a real diskette drive, do you also have a FAT/FAT32 partition on your hard-drive?

The real label is Classic1 for disk 1. I'll try that just in case, but I think the installer is corrupted. MiniMax, I do not. The floppy drive is external, I bought it recently.
The installer was corrupt. It may have been a cracked exe file or something. The person I bought it from on eBay kindly provided me a new one, and it works perfectly. Thanks to all of you for your help.
what other exe, com or bat files are on the disk
