Hello, I'm trying to install an old game I played as a kid called Heroes of might and magic 1, and I won't get it to work. The only thing that dosbox tells me is that I don't have enough space when I'm trying to install it.
Any ideas?

You are mounting the same folder as drive c and e, while you mount e as a CD drive and then you try to install to e. Do you see the problem there? You can't install anything to a CD drive as it is read only.
Follow the 60 seconds guide and you will succeed

And? You try to install the game to the cd-rom drive (e:\heroes). Of course there is no free space.
