Luchsen You can't execute a PDM file because it is no executable. BATs, COMs and EXEs are executables.

Nope, the archive from AB is prince of persia.zip, not a PDM file.

You didn't give any details about your mount lines, so I can't give you any detailed instructions.

Basicly:
Unzip all the files from prince of persia.zip in a folder in your virtual C: , name it prince
run dosbox, mount your virtual C: and from your C: prompt input:

cd prince
prince

..... And the game runs.

Should you need an unzipper (Vista's one is completely worthless) get 7Zip, fully Vista compatible and freeware.

If you need more instructions also read:

BTW, no need to run install, the game is ready to run in dosbox.

Prince of Persia + Dosbox + Vista

I really want to play Prince of Persia (Original). I've downloaded the dosbox thing and got it set up ready for the c: thing.

I've then downloaded the game and now i'm stuck. I extracted the files to a subfolder under the dosbox but when i click install it says that no format supported> i think its a PDM file..any ideas any one or even a step by step tutorial, bearing in mind i am not very good at this stuff!
