what is the name of the folder that kyrandia is in?
save your downloaded kyrandia folder somewhere EASY like c:\kyra no subfolder or if u have to go c:\Kyra\mal something easy. i hope u know what i mean....
open dosbox.
type
mount a c:\kyra\mal (wherever your 'install.exe' file is, but u have to know it exact and make sure its short otherwise half the word wil be replaced with ~)
then type
mount c c:\ (or mount c d:\ to save game to second harddrive)
then type
a:\
the letter will change from C to A.
type dir/p
this will show u all the files in c:\krya\mal page by page. press enter until you see install as an exe file. note its name - could be inst~2 exe or something. but its install as EXE not any other, EXE. if you only get a few files then you have not saved as stated above. hopefully someone can explain that part better than me.
now type
install.exe or inst~2.exe whatever its called. this should open installation. it was ask where to save the game, c:\westwood\malcolm. this is where it usually says not enought mem. now it wont(or shouldnt). c:\ doesnt exist in dosbox until you mount itusing either your C or D drive, but whether u use C or D, u will still save in c:\westwood\malcolm. not d:\westwood\malcolm.
this should now work. try running in dos, open new dosbox.
type mount c c(d? wherever u have it):\westwood\malcolm
that should be ok
then type dir/p and look for main as an exe file.
type main.exe
theres ur game.
u probably wont have sound, try VDM sound like fifth horseman said. just google VDM sound and download then install and read readme.txt file.
told u it was too much to write here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope that works for you. if u cant run thru dos just try double clicking on 'main.exe' in your folder in windows.
