You've got to mount the drive / folder where your game is located, first. After that switch to that mounted drive. Otherwise DosBox can't find the EXE you type in and gives out that error message.
For example: mount c c:\games\folderofagame c: Look also here for a good DosBox tutorial. |

It means there's no executable file in the current directory (or %path%) with the same filename as the command you typed i.e. the command is not recognized i.e it's an illegal command.
