Red face Unable to create config file directory

Hi.
I am trying to run constructor through dosbox. i have the game files saved in a folder 'dosgames', where there is an .exe file called 'game'.

When my dosbox is open, i have typed:

mount c c:\dosgames
"Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\dosgames\

C:

this turns z:\> into

C:\>

then i type:

cd constr

this turns C:\> into

C:\constr>

and finally i type game.exe

at this point i either get a message saying 'cannot create config file directory', or dosbox closes on me.
Can anyone explain to a dos novice what i can do to get constructor running?
Cheers

If you are using Vista you should move the game files to your user directory or run doxbox as administrator. You could also check if some game files are "read only" (just right click -> properties). I hope this helps.
