Your program is a Windows program, not a DOS program.

Better luck with the next one.

DOSBox is only meant for running MS-DOS applications. You are trying to run a WINDOWS application.

You must use Microsoft's WINDOWS.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
