dosbox 0.74, installing from mounted cue/img combo

Install gets to 99% and then claims it was aborted due to the hard drive being full.

It only requires 15 megs of HD space. To be sure I used freesize to bump the C: to 500megs, but got the same error.

Watching the log in debug, it repeatedly sends the command "raising irq" when it errors out. Not sure if that is relevant.

What the installer is actually upset about is that DOSBox doesn't allow it to set the date and time stamp on the files it creates. It should work in ykhwong's build, which supports setting the stamps; or you can use the attached program to work around the misrepresented complaint.

The game itself needs the cputype=386_prefetch setting because it tries to hinder debuggers with prefetch tricks.
