I've been fumbling around with this one for a day or two.

I am mounting the game from an image file of a floppy disk.

From there I can get it to start. The main menu forces you to choose setup the first time. You are then supposed to select a printer and after that select where you would like to save your data files. Your options are drive A, B, or hard drive.... none of which will work for me.

No matter what path you type in for the hard drive, it will say it is invalid. I have tried leaving it blank, c, c:, c:\

BIf you choose A or B, it says the computer does not recognize those drives... which is ironic since the game is running off the A:.

I tried mounting the C: with the freesize option set to very low (5), in case the size of the hard drive was throwing it off. I also tried changing the cpu type to 386 and 386_prefetch.

The dosbox debug version shows no messages during this time.

Attempting to install the game to the hard drive from the floppy disc also results in it claiming to not be able to see the c:\.

As usual, help is much appreciated.

I can reproduce the "invalid path" problem in 0.74, but not in SVN. Seems it was fixed.

I thought the only disk image of The Toy Shop floating around there was unfortunately corrupted?
