Ok if you go to X-com Ufo on this site you can download 2 versions...
the windows version that will run through xp and the dos version
The windows version runs way to fast to be playable. I mean like the game
speed is way too high.

So i want to run the dos version because i can control the speed through
DOSbox . When you download the dos version of xcom from this site. it is a
cdrom version of the game that needs to be installed to the hard-drive in dos.

So the problem is this ... I downloaded the game and extracted it to my hard drive
under C:/tempgame/xcom when i go to run install . It gives the message from my previous post. "cdsetup type cd drive " or whatever and crashes out of the install back
to a c:/> . so I tried to do the "make dos box think that C:/tempgame/xcom is
D:/tempgame/xcom by using the proper command as in above posts.
so that it would install itself as if from a cd... because as downloaded it is the exact files
as on the original cd. so i need it to install C:/tempgame/xcom to C:/xcom
once it's installed then i can run the exe and play the game.

But it won't friggin install ?! it just gives me the same message over and over and goes back to a C:/ promt .

thats the problem LOL. please help

if you still don't get what im sayin . Download the dos version and dosbox from this site and try and install it ... you will see what i mean.
