I think you shouldn't try installing it but rather running the executable

Yes, it's already in the installed state, just copy the game to a directory, setup sound & music through install.exe and play it (pir.exe or some .bat-files).

when using dosbox don't set memsize higher then 63 mb.(sure)

You might need to set core to full (not sure)

Thanks guys it works BUT........................ now i have another problem now it plays for about 5 minutes then minimized out and a little box saying "this dos program performed illegal something something and will terminate , Blah blah" , then it X's itself out . do i need the dos box or something ..........???

It doesn't work in Windows. Install dosbox, which is a dos emulator (You can download it here on abandonia). Run it from there. That should work. I have played Pirates Gold a lot without problems. Great game. k: If you have more questions, just ask!.

i was afraid someone was going to say Dosbox , i had downloaded it a couple of weeks ago , Now im familiar with dos , BUT i dont get how it works , i read the read me , but it really isnt helping me , Can someone tell me how exactly to load the games or however it works ......thanks

Try this:

Newbie's guide to DOSBox

I didn't have a clue about DOS or DOSBox but this helped me get my games running.

Yup. start dosbox.

First press Alt-Enter. This will maximize your screen.

In the promth, write: "mount c c:/" (It doesn't have to be backslash, it may also just be a slash, my keyboard can't make a backslash in dosbox.)

now, go to the directory where your game is, like you would normally do in dos, and run the executable file:
cd games
cd pirates
pirates.exe ...Or whatever the filename is.

Return when you have tried this, I would like to hear if you succeeds.
