You need to unpack it, and then run the unpacked game in DOSBox. http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=14406

To start the game, use START.BAT . It will allow you to choose whether you want to play the base game or the expansion and perform additional tasks needed to ensure whichever you chose runs properly.

Thanks for the help with the 7z. I feel pretty lame though given the files are still dodging any form of being opened beyond menus.

Hate to ask a second question on this but can I get a link to the IIRC fix for the game?

It's bothering me that the virtual space will read the game enough to access the menus but that after that for anything not requiring the cd like Lans it still demands to find a cd drive. I don't have Rewritable disks or other capabilities to write cd's to copy paste for it. I tried switching the CD path directory in the Settings to send it on a path to it's own data files in the ToD, but nothing occurred.
