First of all, which heroes game is it? The first one?

To start you out you'll need to install the game (it can be done in windows or dosbox) in dosbox you need to mount your harddrive first:

mount c: c:\

Then mount your cdrom drive (replace D: with the letter of your drive)

mount d: d:\ -t cdrom

Now that you have the drives mounted go to the cdrom drive -

d:
dir/w

Look for anything named "Install.exe" or "Setup.exe" and install the game. Once you've done that you can enter the game's directory and run it.

c:
cd\mygame
mygame

You are trying to run a Win32 application. DOSBox just runs ms-dos apps. I am guessing you are trying to run the game using DOSBox because you talked about mounting drives.
