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.

Mounting a drive doesn't automatically change to it.
To change to any drive, enter it's letter followed by a colon (no space between both) - in this case, C:

In that case, please post an exact copy of the mount command you added to the config file.

Those are for Exult only and useless for the original games.
Exult is unable to use the SFX as they are present in the game data, and thus needs these sound packages instead.
