I have the original install disks for QuickBASIC 4.5 but I can't figure out how to install correctly since I have no floppy drive. I tried making ISO files for each disk and mounted them both using IMGMOUNT and even tried switching between disks using Ctrl+F4. I keep getting a message saying there's not enough room to install it on the drive. The second part of the install insists I insert the second disk in drive A. Is there anyway around this? I tried just about everything. I really want to install this!

*moved topic to DOSBox forums*
when it concerns dosbox, use dosbox forums...
Dosbox is only for games...

make floppy images off your floppies and use imgmount to mount both images, then switch disks by ctrl+f4. don't forget to mount a c drive...

To be clear, this will not work in the official DOSBox 0.74 and you will need an SVN version.

You may want to consider using QB64 or FreeBASIC rather than the original QuickBASIC. Both can still run old QuickBASIC code and will not require DOSBox.
