Every time I try to install it in DOSBox, it says "Pleaase insert disk 2". It happens even after I modify the INSTALL.DBF file with a DBF editor changing the disk number to 1 and it still gives be the error.

Does DOSBox have a "disk swapper" feature?

And does the FoxPro installer require the volume name of the disks to be named a certain way?

CTRL-F4 to refresh your floppy drives contents.

In the current version of DOSBox there's no "disk swapping" in the same way as CD images, no. If CTRL-F4 doesn't work one way or another, your best solution is to use Virtual Floppy Drive.

Quite possibly. I think the last time I ran into a problem of that nature, I got around it by looking for suspicious strings in the installation program and hacking in replacements.
