...... eeeeuuuurhhhhrhhhh ... if you don't mount a C: you don't have a C: in dosbox, and if you don't have a virtual C: the install prog can't write on your C: ., ahem. As you're on Vista take a look there: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=19982 Will avoid you lots of problems, certainly if you begin to install games from flops. Most flops use batch files or call them to create-install-write folders-files. Best see that dosbox has the needed permissions under Vista. So, basically: * You MUST always mount (or automount in [autoexec]) a virtual C: * Your mount a a: is not 100% Should be: mount a a: -t floppy Give it another try now, with a bit of luck it will work. However some ol'batch installers use commands that are not implemented in dosbox, so it's trial and error here ...... |

Wonderland Installation Problems So I recently got hold of a game called Wonderland, and I also bought an external floppy drive to play it with. Now, you can't play straight from the disks, you have to install it first. It gives you four options of where to install it, one of them being the C: drive. So far, so good. After choosing the C: drive, it wants to install it in 'C:\games\wonderland'. But when I confirm this, it tells me that it can't create 'C:\games'. So I add the folder 'C:\games' manually to my hard drive, then try again to install it. It still tells me that it can't create 'C:\games', even though I already created that folder. Any ideas why this is happening? Any help is much appreciated. EDIT: I'm using DOSBox 0.73 to access the floppy drive. |
