The Darklands needs to create a directory...
And allocate space for working files.
TO continue installation, type a letter that designates the hard drive where you want the game files stored or press ENTER to quit: Ok. Every time I mount Darklands and run the darklands.exe command I get this error. What exactly does it mean? Because it's not accepting any commands I imput. Tried using my C drive but it gives a "Invalid drive letter specified." message. Same with all other drive letters. Is this a common occurrence? I've never gotten this problem playing Master of Magic. I poured through the DOSbox wiki looking for a way to get around it but no such luck  Anyone have any input? I'm running Windows 7 if that is any help. |

Your mount lines?
Also: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=22241 BTW, there is no 'darklands.exe', it's 'darkland.exe'. Also: rename the darklands folder in the archive to darkland

The folder was already darkland, same with the .exe Force of habit I guess to add the s
 I go with the usual mount line mount c c:\Darkland\ then run the DARKLAND.exe file and it goes straight to that message. |

Try mounting directly the drive c: with
mount c c:\ then switching to the game folder with cd \darkland and see if that helps. |

Extract the darkland folder to c:\users\your name\oldgames\ so that your win7 path is: c:\users\your name\oldgames\darkland\ To run the game:: mount c "c:\users\your name\oldgames\" c: cd darkland darkland Can't be that hard to accomplish, is it? If you don't want to have to type the mount lines over and over again: Quote:

That definitely helped with the original problem dosraider.
Though now I get the CD-ROM drive could not be found! Check to see that the CD-ROM drive is on-line and that the Darklands disc is loaded. error. |
