how did you mount everything ?

i did a

cp -r /mnt/cd/* /hom/myuser/dos/Jagged\ Alliance

then i started dosbox

mount c /home/myuser/dos

c:
cd jagg..~1
install.exe

yeah that is probably not going to work
most installers want to be run from D and install on C (and D mounted as cdrom)

So try this
mount c /home/myuser/dos
mount d "/home/myuser/dos/Jagged Alliance" -t cdrom
d:
install

thx, worked.

Hello,

i am experiencing the same problem and although your post helped me to get pass the "Can't open file QICKSTRT.SAV" error, now it stuck at a new one reading : "Can't open file DOS4GW.EXE for output!".

The file IS located at the /ROOT directory of the game files, and although i tried to mount it from the virtual CD-ROM and from hard drive (both with -t cdrom options) it couldn't find it.

im running WIN 7 64bit and trying to install to c:/program files (x86)

any help please ?
