You're correct, I just tried it on Linux. But since everyone who had problems used Windows style paths I don't think this is the cause of their problems.

Anyway, the problem is caused by prep.com which creates start.bat. It uses the Windows style backslash "\" instead of forwards slash "/" (which would also work on Windows). It is easy to fix using a hex editor (or even a text editor). The start.bat script is embedded in the executable, just change the lines
@mount d "%wardir%\TOD" -t cdrom
@mount d "%wardir%\DP" -t cdrom
to
@mount d "%wardir%/TOD" -t cdrom
@mount d "%wardir%/DP" -t cdrom
and it works on all systems.

I always planned to give this a try - for "historical" reasons and curiosity - but since Warcraft 3 was my first serious game (and one of the all time favorites), the feeling that step back would only disappoint kept on stopping me from even trying.

It takes some time to get used to (and Warcraft II is the most mass-unit-spam game in the series), and many comfort functions weren't invented yet - but if you never go through the very first Warcraft - Orcs and Humans game all the way through to Warcraft 3, you can't say Warcraft III is a serious game.

I thought "serious" as in "first one I put very significant amount of time into", nothing more than that.

Hello everyone!
I was so happy to find one of fav games, downloaded it, used D-Fend to run it to only find out that I need a second CD.. The game asked me to put a second Cd which I don't have. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

PS. Feel free to move my reply to another thread if this one isn't acceptable.

The archive includes the data of both CDs and when you start the game with war2.bat you select if you want to play the original game or the expansion pack. The script will then mount the appropriate data directory as a CD-drive in DOSBox and you can play the game you selected.

Hm... I don't have war2.bat
When I used wizard to install it I used SETUP. EXE

There's no war2cd.bat in the Abandonia version.
This is where you select the game when you run war2.bat:
