How do INSTALL through DOSBOX?
Hello everyone.
I have my Mercs .cue File being read by DOSBox, but I have no idea on how to make DOSBox install it. And yes, it is a combo DOS/Win 95 Mercs disk as I have run it through DOS on my XP. How do I make the install run?

Assuming the disk is mounted as drive D,
Code: Select all
D:
cd dos
install
Re: How do INSTALL through DOSBOX?
Okay, thanks. It installed. I played it for a bit, logged out. Now how do I make it RUN again through DOSBox? (Command lines please?) It's already installed, no?

Probably something like:
I think the default install directory is called "MERCS" but if it isn't, just cd to whatever it's called.
Code: Select all
cd mercs
mercs

Re: How do INSTALL through DOSBOX?
Okay, I am in need of help.
I am mounting my local directory in dosbox as "mount d D:\DOS\". When D: drive is active, I type "INSTALL". it looks like at this point the game is trying to install under dosbox, but all the sudden the mercs dos installation window said "The CD must be inserted to install.". Why does the installation program in dosbox not recognise my CD?
This does the same thing when I try to play under dosbox; it can't "find" the CD.
PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!

Re: How do INSTALL through DOSBOX?
isomount the cue file of your Mercs disk image. To make a cue file from your Mercs CD, CloneCD is one such tool to do this.
Edit 12/06/08 -- imgmount (not isomount) in DOSBox.

Re: How do INSTALL through DOSBOX?
Big favor, but, can I get a link for the smallest sized CloneCD program option? Or a link to their website?

Re: How do INSTALL through DOSBOX?
OK, np, I have somehow installed Mercs through dosbox. But by accident.
I am wondering how I play Mercs through dosbox now. Assuming I have mounted nothing, my cd-drive is D:\, my IMAGE.CUE file is at C:\, what are the step-by-step prompts to get this working?
