Please help. I did this renaming the directory to TREK5. But it still wants the #3 disk inserted.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

That should have worked. Try deleting the entire directory and then renaming the zip file to TREK5.ZIP. Then extract the zip file again making sure it extracts to a directory named TREK5 at the root of your hard drive. The game is expecting the directory to be at C:\TREK5. It did not give any options on other places to install. Also, don't run INSTALL.BAT you don't need to. Start the game with ST5.EXE.

In DOSBox mount a drive letter C to the root of the hard drive (mount C C:\ or, if your hard drive is D: mount c d:\ )so that the executable is located at C:\TREK5\ST5.EXE. Do not mount C directly to the TREK5 directory. If you do it will cause the problem that you are having. This game is really picky about path names. Are you using any kind of DOSBox front end program?
