Using 0.74 (have tried SVN as well).

Mounting iso image of Space Jam, the install process begins copying files and then crashes (actually killing the dosbox instance). I am attempting the "full" install of the game.

The crash occurs in the same place every time, just after copying the ultra.dig file. I'm not sure if this means that this particular file is causing the problem, or if it is the next directory it is attempting to copy.

I am using a standard conf file. On auto the cycles max out, so I did attempt to force them back to 3,000. I also added xcopy to the path to make sure this wasn't the issue (again).

When DOSBox closes itself, do you see a "Exit to error: Ran out of CacheBlocks" message in the Status Window?

If so, it's a problem of the dynamic core, and it can always be avoided with core=normal. However, having to do that for the install doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to do that for the game itself.

that solved it. I never saw an error message due to it closing so fast. Thanks again ripsaw
