Aaah, I think I have it! I always extracted it in a subfolder of C:\dos\Cdrive (my C drive in dosbox), but now I just intall it in that C drive, and now the setup works, so I assume it is solved. Installing is possible by typing install C:\blablabla\folder where you want it installed, but is indeed not necessary. Even more, it doens't work if you do it like that. (The subfolder problem) Thanks for the help and advice! |

I've downloaded the DOS game from this site page and tryied to make it work. At first, I was stumped by a strange problem I never seen (the game just jump to the geoscape to the intro and back again), until I setted the sound with setup.exe (use soundblaster, all the default settings are already given to you) and started the game with UFOCD.bat. The game is already fully installed in the archive, you don't have to install it again. I don't even think you could if you tryied anyways. All you need to do is unzip the archive, set the sound, start ufocd.bat and tweak a little with the cycles.

-t cdrom, like the tutorial. I did everything like the tutorial. But it still doens't work, that's what I find strange. |

did you add stuff like -t cdrom and -ioctl ? that it's F doesn't matter |

| Guest | Yes. I mounted C:\dos\CDrive as the C drive, but I had some trouble with the D drive. Do you need your real cdrom drive? That's F with me, so I mounted F:\ as my D cdrom drive. If I use a subfolder, dosbox warns me that that only has limited functionality. | |

spaces are allowed in mount as long as you put quotes around the directory mount c "c:\somedir\somedir with spaces\dosgames" Did you mount a C and a D drive (and the D drive as cdrom ?) |

thanks everybody for the help so far. I think I have installed the game, finaly, but that doens't solve much. I have installed it in a folder, and dosbox changes automaticly, after the installing, to that folder, and asks to type cdsetup and then my cd rom drive letter. What I did. And then, nothing happens. Nothing at all. There are other files, namingly: cdsetup.bat, but that does nothing, like previous stated dos4gw.exe, does also nothing intro.exe, more nothingness and setup.exe, but that also gives nothing oh, and ufocd.bat, but neither does that a thing. I really don't get it how other people can get the game working. |

| Eagle of Fire | It is more than likely that the file you need to run to start the game is a .bat file. If there is no .bat file, look for a .exe or .com file with an obvious name. Like ufo.exe for example. Or start.bat, etc. | |

Second, the executable to run the game is located in the main directory. Enter it and run the following three commands: Dir *.exe Dir *.com Dir *.bat For the long term, I suggest you get Norton Commander file manager. It helps a real lot with file management in DosBox. |
