I have an iso of simant mounted on a virtual drive, and the virtual drive is mounted in dosbox as the cd drive (d drive). When I type DIR when in the D drive, it shows me the files on the mounted cd. When I type setup, the command line that comes back shows the command "win" (no quotes) auto typed before Setup, and the error tells me "illegal command: win."

win.com for Windows. It is trying to load windows first. You need to install the DOS version, if there is one. See if there is an INSTALL instead of SETUP.
