Question Quest For Glory III install problem

I'm running Vista. Downloaded QFG III: Wages of War. Unzipped the files by following instructions posted on this site, so I believe I did it correctly. But the game is not installed. I've never messed with zip files before, so I'm kind of in unknown territory. Can anyone suggest helpful hints or pointers? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thx

It does not "install" the way Windows games do, and it never will.
Just run it in DOSBox.

You also obviously need to expand the archive before playing. Find and download WinRar or WinZip on the net...

Use Dosbox. (www.dosbox.com). Better still, download D-fend Reloaded (http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/) (an integrated dosbox+frontend). Will simplify your usage.

You need to use the install.exe only if you want to change the options used in the game.
