Is it a very old game? If so, it might be expecting to have the install disk in A: instead of C: and refuse to do anything.

Note that the vast majority of the old games you download on the 'net are already preinstalled... As long as you unzip all the files in an archive (and don't make your archiver automatically start setup files or such things) then you might be already set to go.

I downloaded this game AB version and managed to make it run straight thru dosbox, using pepper.bat.

did you run the game via dosbox? or you just downloaded dosbox

if you need a fresh start on dosbox, just run dosbox.exe and then intro, if that doesn't help there's a lot of tutorials

I also have done that already but it doesnt work. it seems as if i really would be having to instel the game. but it doesnt want to get installed. i've also already downloaded it from different homepages.
but none works. actually all games i've downloaded (most from this hp) dont let themselves get installed..

what is mount folder? and, well.
i open the setup program and keep pressing enter, agreeing to all until it say do you want to continue installation (even thou i dont have thouse audio hardwares) so i type y (yes) and then it says press any button to quit installation.

"what is mount folder?"...go download dosbox, run it and type "intro" and read what it says. then come back asking for help, if you don't know what to do
