That should have worked. Try deleting the entire directory and then renaming the zip file to TREK5.ZIP. Then extract the zip file again making sure it extracts to a directory named TREK5 at the root of your hard drive. The game is expecting the directory to be at C:\TREK5. It did not give any options on other places to install. Also, don't run INSTALL.BAT you don't need to. Start the game with ST5.EXE.

In DOSBox mount a drive letter C to the root of the hard drive (mount C C:\ or, if your hard drive is D: mount c d:\ )so that the executable is located at C:\TREK5\ST5.EXE. Do not mount C directly to the TREK5 directory. If you do it will cause the problem that you are having. This game is really picky about path names. Are you using any kind of DOSBox front end program?

OK!!! NOW IT IS WORKING. Thanks for all your help!!!!
It was the dragging of the st5.exe to the dosbox exe that causes the error. When I did it the way you suggested it worked quite well and I get the sounds too!!!
Thanks a big bunch!

I played this game as a kid, and I remember there being a option to start the game into a BOP simulator. I am thinking that you have to beat the game for the iotion to appear, not sure tho. When I was young it was just there and thats all I know. Love the game tho. Been looking for it for a long time. Thanks to whoever for the game post.

I've been playing around with a shortcut in windows to make this run.
Here's what worked for me:

My DOSBox 0.73 file is in D:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73\
My ST5.EXE file is in D:\Games\DOS Box\Star Trek V - The Final Frontier\

I made a shortcut to DOSBox, opened its properties, this is the Target box:

"D:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe" -c "MOUNT c 'D:\Games\DOS Box\Star Trek V - The Final Frontier\'" -c "c:\" -c "c:\trek5\st5.exe" -fullscreen -exit

Now I can move the shortcut anywhere on the computer and the game will work from the directory where I choose for it to be located.

Hope this helps...

Hi!

I also have problems with the game.
In DOSBOX the game is located in C:\TREK5. When I start ST5.EXE it immediatly starts KFIGHT.EXE where I can fight against the Klingon.
When I win the game ends and I'm back at the Dos-Prompt.
When I loose I get a screen that I get prisoned and then the game ends.

Has anyone the same problem? Can anyone help me?

Joe

It gives me the same, message it wants me to insert disks,when I use the install file it just quits dosbox.. gutted!

The directory that contains the st5.exe file MUST be named TREK5.

Cheers.

Woot , cheers

BTW, no Adlib or SoundBlaster option?

No sound config. Are you not getting sound?

I get the beeper sound. If this game is really from '88 it isn't likely to have even AdLib... but the graphics seemed newer than that.
