Hi, there,

Well, let start:

1. I am using Windows XP Pro. I have Linux Mandriva 2008 also installed. My PC N 1 is 800 Mhz and fast enough for these games.
2. I am able to use also WinME and Linux on my other 3 PC's. ( And maybe I will try ME in case I am unable to start the game with XP).
3. My C: is divided to C: and D: drives for security reasons. E: is my CD/DVD combo device. F: is my Flash Memory Slot. Now I have 2 GB Flash Memory device connected. I have Floppy (A: ) device also.
4. I DL the Wizardry game from this site. This was a 5.3 MB Rar-like file , but actually is ISO file, because of fact that XP automatically read ISO files.
5. I sent this file to C:.
6. Then 2 clicks onto the file and a new directory w7 appeared in C:. Attn: The organization is as follow: C:\W7\W7 .. In the first W7 we have 7 files as follow: Install.exe -18 kb. Manual.bat – 1 kb; PW.bat – 1 kb. Readme.bat – 2 kb. Vtos.sys – 4 kb., Manual.txt – 180 kb, Passwdrs.txt – 4 kb. In the second W7 we have 241 files , totally about 5.10 MB including wizardry.bat – 4 kb; play.bat – 4 kb;vinstall.bat – 9 Kb.
7. Then I started Daemon Tools Lite (version 4.12.3). Far right down an red icon appeared-like red square with 2 white claws- the icon of Daemon Tools Lite. Nice.
8. Left mouse click onto Dtools icon shows – Device 0: [ G: ] Empty
9. Then I click with my right mouse button on Dtools icon and proceed: An window appeared- The top label was Virtual CD/DVD- ROM with arrow -> Mount image. I click on this label “Mount image”. Then select the file WizardryVII-Crusaders of the Dark Savant.iso from C: .Very fast appeared and disappeared some like ..... mount.. not sure – was very fast..
10. Now when I click with left mouse button on the Dtools icon I have new labels in the window: First -top – is “Unmount all drivers” and second down is “Device 0: [ G: ] C:\WizardryVII-Crusaders of the Dark Savant.iso -...... This is just control info to see how I proceed.
11. At the same time in My Computer menu appeared new cd-like icon named CRUSADERS (G: ) - type CD drive – 5.60 MB.
12. Then I started Command Prompt and from DOS prompt : G:\>install . Next appeared:
13. “Install <CD-ROM Drive letter> Where <CD-ROM Drive letter> is DOS Drive letter for your CD-ROM Example: INSTALL D The above tells install that your CD-ROM is D:. (My yoga remark – why D:? ) Note that no colon (“:”) is given after the drive letter on the command line.
14. Well, I write G:\> INSTALL D
15. and received error message: copying d:\w7\scenario.hdr to c:\wiz-cd\7\scenario.hdr Can't open input file.
16. I have already DOSBOX and play the game Anvil using this Box. No problem.
17. I started DOSBOX
18. Z:\> intro mount
19. then Z:\>mount g g:\w7\
20. G:
21. wizardry
22. Appeared: SYSTEM ERROR: Unable to open scenario.hdr

Well, I tried to use ==mount c c:\w7\ - same result
Yes, I created [ I did so many attempts, so now I am totally confused and dunno how I created) this famous wiz-cd\7 directory in my C: including 2 files :
PCFiles.dbs – 10 KB and
scenario.hdr - 1KB
Yes, my scenario.hdr is not Read-only attribute with.

MHO is that the error is that D: drive device.
D: is my Archive date device, a part of C: ( about 50% ~ 40GB).
I divide C: into new C: and D: to protect myself from virus attacks.

But now I am give up and ask for help.
Sry for my long explanation..No other way.

Ty all.

[_r.u.s.s.]

no.. the iso file is not meant to be unzipped like you did. you have to mount it as your image =)
simply mount: your virtual dosbox drive and virtual cdrom drive, reding the wizardry 7 iso you downloaded.

then go to your virtual cdrom drive in dosbox and type in install x:, where x is your virtual drive letter

then type in cd w7, dir and there search for a good excutable

if you didn't know how to manage mointing ISOs in to virtual drives, ask away, but now i'm too lazy to type it and maybe you know it=P

Dear _r.u.s.s.

I would like to thank You for your kind help.
Unfortunately the result is negative, even I make my best.
Well, I will try again on my other PC with WinME.
Ty again.

Have a good time.

Thankful yoga

[_r.u.s.s.]

Add mount c c:\wiz-cd\ or mount c c:\wiz-cd\7\ after line 10 and before 11, not sure which of the two, try both.
