Try this: Open Notepad and type:
SourcePath = ..\[the name of your unzipped AV folder] InstallationType = 1 Save as av.cfg in the game folder

Could you show me your av.cfg file please, as well as telling me the exact paths of your AV folder AND the fake root dir?

Try shorten the game folder's name. Dos really don't like long file/folder names. And try to avoid spaces in the name. Keep it simple.
Btw: The "fake root directory" is nothing more than the folder you specified in your dosbox conf. when mounting the C drive, and the folder in which dosbox will look first. And by the look of it, I'd say it's C:\Dosbox\CDrive\ Quote:

Exactly what did you do with the patch file?
Last idea: Try naming the av.cfg in CAPITALS.

No problem, mate. So, to wrap this one up:
If you miss the AV.CFG in your game folder: *Open Notepad *Type: SourcePath = ..\[name of game folder] (not the whole path, just that one folder) InstallationType = 1 *save as AV.CFG (be sure to capitalize the letters) in the game folder
