I am new to DOSBox. Just installed DOSBox 0.74 onto a Dell running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with the objectice to run Managing Your Money (MYM) V10.

I am getting the following error: SETUP.DAT not found!

Background.
MYM was sucessfully running in Windows VISTA before being migated to a new Dell with Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit

The following directory structure is being used:
C:\DOSBox\MYM\MYMMSTR\

This diretory contains the MYM.EXE application, the SETUP.DAT file and all the respective data files.

The following commands were entereing at the DOSBox prompt:

mount c c:\dosbox\mym\mymmstr\
Response - Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\dosbox\mym\mymmstr\

c:\mym.exe
Response - SETUP.DAT not found!

As mentioned above the SETUP.DAT file is located in the c:\MYM\MYMMSTR\ directory.

I have searched and reviewed any posted MYM threads. Other have MYM running successfully.

Is there something simple I am overlooking?

Any guidence is appreciated.

Dear Qbix,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried your suggestion. Unfortunaltely, it did not fix my problem.

Below is my results.

From a fresh DOSBox 0.74 Session:

Z:\>mount c c:\dosbox
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\dosbox\

Z:\> c:\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\mym.exe\

Z:\> c:\dosbox\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\dosbox\mym.exe

Z:\> c:\dosbox\mym\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\dosbox\mym\mym.exe

Z:\> c:\dosbox\mym\mymmstr\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\dosbox\mym\mymmstr\mym.exe

Did I execute per your post correctly?

Any additional suggestion would be appreciated.

Any MYM users with suggestions? Is my data in the correct directory structure?

Thank you.

Here a more friendly way to help you using wd tip

Z:\>mount c c:\dosbox
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\dosbox\

Z:\> c:\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\mym.exe\

Z:\> c:\dosbox\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\dosbox\mym.exe

Z:\> c:\dosbox\mym\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\dosbox\mym\mym.exe

Z:\> c:\dosbox\mym\mymmstr\mym.exe
Illegal command: c:\dosbox\mym\mymmstr\mym.exe

Should be

Z:\>mount c c:\dosbox
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\dosbox\

Z:\>C:

C:\> cd mym

C:\ MYM > cd mymmstr

C:\ MYMMSTR> MYM.exe

You'll do that 100 times, but then probably not.
