Hello, I am having trouble installing turbo C++ in Windows 7 64 bit,using dosbox. Let me tell you where the problem starts.
After downloading DOSBox ver 0.74 from Downloads link of www.dosbox.com; created a folder c:\Turbo. Extracted TC into this folder (c:\Turbo).
Ran DosBox from the icon located on desktop. Typed the command at the command prompt [Z}: mount d c:\Turbo\
After that got a message which says: "Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\Turbo\". After that typed d: to shift to d:
then typed against D:\>tc
This time got a message Illegal command tc. Again tried giving instead a command tc.exe, again the same message comes.
I am really in a dilemma as where did I go wrong, Kindly help and suggest.

If you really need to ask this, then I would suggest that you use something else that is more user friendly for running legacy apps within 64-bit Windows. For eg. VMWare, Virtual PC, VirtualBox, etc. just to name a few.
