So someone can tell you were it goes wrong, we hardly can guess where things go wrong without precise and detailed info.

I only can say that I've installed/run the game without any problems, so it's pretty safe to assume you did something wrong, capiche?

A first guess reading your post would be:
Wrong virtual C: mount.

Next guess:
It's not c:\ecstatica where you must install it, that's impossible for a dos based installer, but c:\ecstatic , max 8 chars in dos.

I am able to follow these instructions, I mount the folder where I keep oldgames, Mount c d:\oldgames. I IMGMOUNT d "d:\the ecstatica.iso location." I switch to d: and run setup-

'Can't create subdirectory' msgbox appears... I select sound card, SB, I select Full Install to C:ecstatic... HD chugs for a few seconds and drops out of DosBox. I only get two folders in my ECSTATIC directory. FILES and SAVED. I can't run ecstatica.bat, it isn't there...

A partial install copies the VIEWS/*.RAW files.

Am I to manually copy the files from the ISO to the ECSTATIC folder?

I have WINXP SP3, I have the newest DosBox0.73.

I can run the game with a Null install, from the iso drive, I get sound, I can't save the game, however.
