if it's an iso file, you must mount it as a virtual drive with daemontools or alcohol120%(or smth like that)

Check DOSBox readme.
If you have the actual CD and it's working, you just have to mount the CD drive (same as mounting the root of any other drive in DOSBox, except you add -t cdrom ).
If you have a CD image (ISO, BIN and so on), you can mount it using the IMGMOUNT command. It works almost identical to the regular MOUNT command for CD drives, except you have to specify the location of the image file instead of specifying the drive to mount.

alright, so now i got mounted my CDromdrive (E) to the D-drive on DOS.. i typed dir, to get a list of possible install options / setup stuff... i typed SETUP and i got a note saying "This game requires microsoft windows"... help :>

What I wonder about is: The game page says the game is compatible with XP and VDMSound but not DOSBox! Can someone tell me if this is an error or if it has to be run under XP/VDMSound, and if it can be run under Win7?

Advisable is:
Get the CD image
Allow VfW (video for windows) to install in dosbox/W3.X
All works fine, intro/outro movies, sounds/music, news, etcetera etcetera... blah blah blah.

It's a Win3.x game, if you want to run it in dosbox you need to install Win3.x in dosbox first.

Do as you want, but personally I even won't try to run a Win3 or Win9x game on a modern OS.
The last thing I want is some ol'applic installing obsolete DLLs and whatever/whatnots on my new stuff.

Methinks the Win 3.x _detail_ there might be the answer ^^

Standard behavior. DOS wasn't big on autoruns and plug-and-play, and neither is DOSBox.

Try DOSBox set up with a copy of Windows 3.x . That seems to work just fine here.

Also, if setting up dosbox 0.74/Win3.x or VPC MsDos/Win3 it too complicated, and that's for all those on Win7, 32 or 64, you can get VirtualXP mode for Win7 (free) from MS, this game runs in the Win7/VirtualXP mode soft.

Note: you don't need to set up XP, you can download a 'ready to run' XP VHD directly from MS.
More info if needed:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir.../download.aspx

However keep in mind, running W3.x games in WindowsXP mode on Win7 is matter of error and trial, many will run and many won't, after all, WindowsXP mode isn't developed with gaming in mind.
The best way to run W3.x on a modern OS is still the combination Dosbox 0.74/W3.x.

Now the question is where to get the W3.x as it doesn't seem to be freeware?
