I unpackaged everything just like in the description, but when I try to run windows.bat I get a message that says cannot find a device file that may be needed to run windows. Any ideas?

If it doesn't work, then you did something wrong.
As I said before, to actually troubleshoot your problem I
need to have the following:
- A screenshot of the error message
- A copy of your DOSBox configuration file (if you modified it from the default one, including any changes to the [autoexec] section)
- The information about your mounts (if they are not defined in the config file)
- The version number of the DOSBox copy you are using
- A screenshot of the directory you are mounting as your C drive in DOSBox
- A screenshot of the Windows directory inside that
And yes, Eagle is a bit incomprehensible today. But he is right that this is a likely cause.
Let's assume you have a
c:\dosgames you are mounting as the C drive in DOSBox.
If you unpack the archive to
c:\dosgames, mount that as the C drive in DOSBox and then enter
windows, the package will start correctly.
If you unpack the archive to
c:\dosgames\windows, you are doing it wrong because the package already contains the required directory structure and will give an error message like the one you described.
