You use DOSBox which can be found here. I reccomend you to read our DOSBox tutorial for guidelines on how to set it up.

Other than that, Ultima Underworld 2 is ESA protected and therefore cannot be downloaded from Abandonia.

EDIT: My bad, seems it's not ESA protected at all. Fully downloadable.

mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
mount D D:\ -t cdrom
C:
CLS

so it looks like this...

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
mount D D:\ -t cdrom
C:
CLS

Nothing appears wrong with the mounts in the config. But remove that CLS please - if there are any error messages shown, it would make you miss them out.

Do you make a folder named "DOS" on your C partition and one named "Cdrive" inside that, or did you just copy-paste these lines into your config? I have a distinct hunch the latter is the problem here.

i wonder how is it possible that it says D:\UW1> after it quits with the error, because you mounted your D:\UW1 as C, so it should just say C: instead. you forked up somewhere
