Follow this tutorial up to 1.2 : http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...192#post286192
Download this: http://files.abandonia.com/extras/Pr...r%20DOSBox.rar
If you are using C:\Oldgames as your default C mount, unpack the archive into C:\Oldgames
Inside C:\Oldgames, create a temporary directory - we'll be deleting it once the installation is finished, so any 8-letter name is fine (such as TEMP).
Unpack the files from the SimTower archive to the TEMP directory you just created.
Run DOSBox. If you set it up like described in the Beginner's Guide, you'll now be able to start Windows 3 by typing in: windows at the prompt and pressing Enter.
If there is no window named Main opened, double-click Main.
Double-click File Manager.
Navigate to the TEMP directory and double-click SETUP.EXE to run it.
I have it set up like the tutorial, except with both windows and simtower folders.
My mounted drive (C:\oldgames) as shown in tutorial
My oldgames directory includes: simtower (folder), win3x (folder)
When attempting to run the Windows 3x, I only get an illegal command prompt. Simply typing 'windows' or 'win3x' or any variation thereof is not successful. Help?
