Hello! First of all, if this happens to be the wrong forum section, I'd like to apologize. About my problem: Usually I get along with dosbox fine, but this time, I'm overseeing something or am just too dumb to solve it myself.
What I want to do is make a batch file that starts dosbox (without knowing the path of it) while mounting the dictionary the batch file was executed from as C: and then start an application in it (happens to be a batch file too).
I've been studying manuals and google for ages, and this is what would make sense for me, quoting from the Usage page: "Example
dosbox c:\atlantis\atlantis.exe -c "MOUNT D C:\SAVES"
This would mount c:\atlantis as c:\ and run atlantis.exe. Before it does that, it would first mount C:\SAVES as the D drive."
So far so good, I did the same thing (without the -c actually) but no matter what paths, parameters or antyhing I do, it says the command "dosbox" is either spelled wrong or doesn't exist. Shouldn't this work fine or am I overlooking something?
In case somebody provides me with another solution, what I'm trying to do is create a dummy guide and distribute a really old application with it. The guide includes installing dosbox, downloading an extractor, then download the game (which includes the batch file), and then, by starting only the batch file, the game should run. The aim is to make sure even people with no computer experience can follow the guide and succeed, that's why I stay away from the usual stuff like mounting everything manually and such.
Thanks for your help and sorry if this is a newbie-like problem.
