Hi, I just got registered here to ask for something that I just don't understand. (BTW Thanks, and great guide )
I've done everything that you have written, and when I just opened the installer for the game Ignition (I'm in love with this game) it worked perfectly, the screen opened the original game and I chose the languaje that I wanted. But then, when it finished, I tried to run the file that is the game itself from the Dosbox again, it said ''This program cannot be run in Dos mode''. The thing is that then I tried to run the game ''normally'' (out from the Dosbox) and it doesnt work, just like at the beginning. Then I tried to run again the installer, and it says: Not enough memory on exec.

Help please?

The message "This program cannot be run in Dos mode" means that the game is for Windows; but it could be for example for Windows 3.x, then it will never work in modern 64-bit Windows. See if this other guide helps you:

IIRC, there are both Windows and DOS executables in Abandonia's Ignition archive.

Simply mount your CD drive as D:\ in dosbox with whatever CD in it and run the game with
maindos
from the game directory.
No probs here......

It apparently won't run if you don't mount a CD .....

[Edit]
Forgot to mention:
The dosversion (didn't test the Win version) is indeed ready to run in dosbox, no install needed. Sound and all are fine.

when i try to do the mount command it says the directory of c doesn't exist and won't mount the drive what do i need to do?

You're doing something wrong. Have you created the directory as instructed in this tutorial? What is the exact mount line you are entering?
