Did you navigate to the installed directory rather than the CD drive?

ok, type "dir /w" without quotes to see what's in the folder - if there's a bat or an exe try running that; if there's a setup, setsound or install you might need to configure the sound first - not sure, haven't run Heroes myself.

It gives you a missing file error when you run the exe? What other files are in the Heroes folder?

it doesn't tell me of a missing file.
it only says "can't open file:" in the heroes folder there are 2 files and 3 directories: files: heroes.exe, heroes.cfg directories: data, games, maps

why do you need to run heroes in DOSbox??? it's a windows game.
Shouldnt' they work under XP? i mean they work on win 2000.

@gregor The first one is a DOS game.
Did you download it from here? I d/led the archive today and all you need to do is extract the zip contents, then navigate to it in DOSBox. The root folder will contain ANIM, DATA, GAMES, MAPS folders, plus heroes.cfg, heroes.exe, install.bat, install.pif, readme.txt, setup.exe and setup.pif - run setup to set the sound, then heroes.exe to play. EDIT: You don't need to mount anything as a CD drive for this, the archive extracts an installed game. |
