Get a ms-dos crash-course fella.

Change to the cd drive -> X:

X:\>

and type in DIR /p for a directory listing. Search for .BAT .COM and .EXE files like install.exe setup.exe , etc...

I see an AUTORUN.EXE, INSTALL.EXE and SETUP.EXE - For the love of GOD, type in Autorun and press enter.... If autorun fails, try executing install.exe first.

EDIT pt2: if this is a WINDOWS game, why in the hell are you using DOSBox? If it's a ms-dos title, you are fine then.
