I have the CD Rom Game: TIME COMMANDO made by Activision for Windows 95 and DOS. It is too old school to run on my computer normally. I was able to get it to work using DOSBOX, but only once.

Apparently, Time Commando was only temporarily installed using the DosBox Emulator, so once DosBox Closed, I had to reinstall it, but when I tried to install it a second time, I got this error message:

Error Code 9005
The installer was unable to find a suitable temporary directory.
You may specify one on the command line by invoking:
D:\DOS\INSTALL.EXE SwapDir=d:\path
If your computer is part of a network, please ensure that you have adequate rights to create a subdirectory and a file on the path you specify.

My computer is not part of a network. So I tried:

D:\DOS>INSTALL.EXE SwapDir=d:\path

and got the same error message. Then I figured that perhaps "path" meant that's where I should type where I want the temporary directory to be, to I tried replacing "path" with C: and I got the same message. Then I created a new folder within C: called "timecommando" and then tried replacing "path" with C:\timecommando and I got the same error message. Then I tried replacing "d:\path" with C:\timecommando and still got the same error message.

Anyone have any idea how I can get this game to work again?
