I have mounted D as the CD drive, used my windows folder (as I use Windows 7) for the C: and used the -t cdrom for the D MOUNT. Note that for RLOFT, I mounted E as the CD drive, used a C directory, and MOUNTED E as E:\ -t cdrom for installation purposes only.
However, I understand the need to use proper practices, especially for troubleshooting. =)
I have run into the same problem, again. I have attached the state of dosbox at the install command, and the contents of the IMG if there is anything wrong or missing.
Thanks,

In your case it would be:
mount d e:\ -t cdrom
Remark: as usual in Dos times it's highly recommended to mount your drive/image as D not as E, will avoid problems with (mostly) early CD games.
Drive letters assigned in dosbox have nothing to see with the real Win drive letters.
Remark²: dosbox has an almost perfect working imgmount command to mount images directly.
imgmount d x:\folder\name.iso -t cdrom
or
imgmount d x:\folder\name.cue -t cdrom
Remark³: If you're on Win7 you really should avoid c:\oldgames but use a folder in your own user folders, will avoid all kinds of read/write unpredictable restrictions.
