For those still having problems getting this game to work from the original CD. Here is what I did to get it to work after many attempts. I am using d-Fend v2 Front End and DOSBox 0.65. This is a detailed explaination on how I got it to work for me and it should work for others.
Create a game folder to store your games in, I used C:\Program Files\D-Fend\Games\
Create a folder to copy your CD to, I used C:\Program Files\D-Fend\Games\CrusaderCD\
Copy all files from the CD to the CrusaderCD folder.
Using D-Fend setup DOSBox. Using the Wizard to setup:
Profile Name: Crusader: No Remorse
Checked Close DOSBox after game exit
Game EXE is C:\Program Files\D-Fend\Games\CrusaderCD\CRUSADER.EXE (use this for now so D-Fend will allow you to proceed, this will need edited later)
Setup EXE is C:\Program Files\D-Fend\Games\CrusaderCD\INSTALL.EXE
Next
Cycles need set for your system. I used 12000 cause I saw that posted elsewhere.
