Hello, this is my first post on your forums. I am trying to install Star Trek 25th Anniversary Edition (CD Version) to my computer. I am running the most recent version of DOSBOX.
To launch the installer I type these commands.

mount e e:/
e:
install

Once the game launches, I try to install the game to c:/TREKCD (the default installation spot).
When I hit install game I get this message "The Drive You Named is Unavailable". Also when I get this screen this line appears in the status window "redirect output to NUL" I have tried installing things to other places with no luck. Any thoughts?

You told the game to install to C

Use mount c e:/

Use mount c e:/

When I did this I got a message that said "file not found"
These are the commands I used:
mount c e:/
c:
install

I got the game working! Thanks everybody! One more thing really really simple question. How do I set the cycle speed to 10,000 in the config file?

You need to mount both a source drive and a destination drive.
