I'm trying to emulate windows 3x and the instructions require Dosbox (which I have through Launch-box) so I tried to download another Dosbox for the Win3x emulator but the download from this site wants to be installed. I don't like installing games because I like to have the convenience of being able to move a folder around at my discretion such as a stand alone folder, especially if I get a new computer.
Is Dosbox a portable folder or do I need to install pieces of it all over my computer?

If you have a dosbox.conf file in the dosbox folder, then DOSbox will use that config file automatically. You should then be able to mount with relative paths from there.
