I am trying to play Castle of the Winds, and in order to do this, the guide I'm following requires me to use DOSBox and install windows 3.11 on it. However, when I try to install the iso I am presented with the attached error message. Does anyone have any insight into what I need to do? I've removed the 'read only' permission on the iso file itself but it doesn't seem to have helped.

This is the guide I'm following

Most likely you are not mounting drives correctly. Follow the Windows 3 guide in the guides section of the forum -- it goes into more detail than what you've been looking at, and it has recommended drivers.
