Delete what you've done till now and start over from scratch IN dosbox.
Sorry, I was posting in haste, the exact lines I used:

imgmount d "d:\oldgames\ecstatic.iso" -t iso

I renamed it to ecstatic.iso because the ecstat~1.iso didn't work either.

When I ran setup, it gave the default location, C:\ECSTATIC, that's what I used. I forgot the '\' in my previous post...

Aren't those correct?

DosBox has no problem setting up the imgmount. I can get to the d: drive and I can see all the game files. I can run setup. I can copy the game files to another folder. I just can't do a FULL install. Sometimes it hangs, sometimes I hear a static pop, maybe the sound card is an issue? SB Live 24 bit. Sometimes when it hangs, a large pixelated D:\ appears in the upper left corner.

I have played with sound, though, with a null install. I can play the game. I just can't save it, I need to install it to the HD to do that. I can't progress in the game without a save function. I am going to try it on another computer.

Edit to add-

It just installed without a hitch on another computer. Don't know why. On the older computer, the game hangs at the 'copying files' msgbox. It never proceeds past ECSTATIC. On the newer computer, the FULL install wings by quickly listing all the files as they're copied...
