7th Guest Just hangs when I do a Install on Vista it does not even install.

open DOSbox and type in the following:

Z:\> mount d e:\ -t cdrom

Then it tells me that the MSCDEX is installed and that the D: drive is mounted as CDRom e:\

I then type:

Z:\> mount c c:\t7g
(I created a file in the C: drive...right when I opened up to explore the C: Drive is where I created the “t7g” folder)

Then it tells me Drive C: is mounted as local directory C:\t7g\

Next:

Z:\ c:

Then:

C:\ d:

Then I type:

D:\> dir /w

and run the
install.bat

I dont know what configurations to use but use the default and then it freezes and does not show a install directory.

What am I doing wrong

Just to make sure, are you installing from Disc 2 or Disc 1?

Why mounting drive D as E:? Why not mounting it as D?

Installation requires AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Otherwise it stops at README.TXT.

In C:\t7g, the folder you mounted, create 2 text documents. Rename them AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS without any .txt extension. It's okay if they're blank, the installer just looks for them to be there.

I often find the order of the statements confusing. "The D: drive is mounted as CDRom e:" sounds kind of backward. If you look at his commands, "mount d e:\ -t cdrom", he mounted optical drive E:\ as D.

I created the dummy files and installed from disc 2 first and had trouble installing disc 1. I am a serious newbie here so bear with me.

I use e drive because my d drive is a partition.

Okay. I got it backwards. 😁

Sounds like you successfully installed it and are now playing it. Glad we could help.

Oh? What problem are you having with the first disc?

Suggestions: Read the manual, the README.txt file, section on RESCAN
There's also a patch for this game.
