noob needs help

Default

Im at the part of running the install through norton commander but the install is on the disk img which is wet.bin but nothing happens when i double click then i try clicking wet.exe and it says it is a NT windowed exexutable and will not install the game.

After that i tried to use poweriso and mounted wet.bin and copied the setup.exe and all other files from cd img to my game directory and ran dosbox again and tried setup.exe and the same problem occured and there was no installation.

could you please help me

when mounting with poweriso, mount the cdrom drive in dosbox as well (and install from there)
command is
mount [dosboxdrive] [realdrive] -t cdrom (mount d: e:\ -t cdrom for example)

Never - EVER - try to use an external image drive program with DOSBox. It results in massive performance loss.
What you should do is use DOSBox' own IMGMOUNT utility.

Second, from the error you encounter it sounds like you are trying to runa a Windows game in DOSBox. Please post the exact text of the error message, so we can make sure whether this is the case.

Try running anything with a lot of disc access - like Full Throttle - on that and we can talk. :P
