The message "This program cannot be run in Dos mode" means that the game is for Windows; but it could be for example for Windows 3.x, then it will never work in modern 64-bit Windows. See if this other guide helps you:

IIRC, there are both Windows and DOS executables in Abandonia's Ignition archive.

Simply mount your CD drive as D:\ in dosbox with whatever CD in it and run the game with
maindos
from the game directory.
No probs here......

It apparently won't run if you don't mount a CD .....

[Edit]
Forgot to mention:
The dosversion (didn't test the Win version) is indeed ready to run in dosbox, no install needed. Sound and all are fine.

Thanks for making this guide. It's a big help for those of us not familiar with the ins and outs of DOSBox.
