Which led to... well ... just the outer page of the forums.
SOOOOOOOOo....... I took the following approaches and every time I got the same error as follows first.
Error received:
Wizardry CD-ROM installation
Error in _dos_getfreedisk() call
Approach 1: "Burn ISO directly to CD then Install from that CD."
1) Burned the ISO to the CD as per normal ISO burns.
2) Ran install from windows.
3) No result and immediate dump-out of a "dos" window.
4) Ran DOSBox.
5) Followed standard DOSBox procedure for going to the CD-ROM
6) Did a "DIR" to verify the files, all was in order.
7) Tried the install and go the error above.
Approach 2: "Install using Virtual Clone Drive to mount the ISO while it remained on the Hard Disk."
1) Run Virtual Clone Drive
2) Mount the ISO as a clone drive
3) Repeat all steps from "2)" above.
4) Same error.
Any hints on installing this game?

This is not the original game, the game was released on floppy disks. I have the original disks with manuals, docs, etc. I don't remember if this game was ever released as a "Classic CD " game or not, but it kinda sounds like the disks or install was burned onto a cd and then burned as an ISO image. If you locate the uploader to find out what their source was would be a big plus.
It might be a bad burn too, it happens. --
