Are you running the game in DOSBox?
If so, please post exact commands you are using and information about where your copy of the game is located in your directory structure.
Oh yes, and what is the path to your CD (or DVD) drive, since you'll apparently need to modify the go.bat file with it (I'll be able to tell you the exact command to use when I know the path).

I am using DOSBox and those are the commands I execute and the messages I get.

My copy of the game is on my home folders, so it's /users/filipe/dosgames/heroes

I mounted the c: in my home folder:

mount c /users/filipe/dosgames

When I insert a DVD into the drive, any folder in it says to be located in the /volumes/dvdvolume section

Also note that it is much easy to place those commands into config file (AUTOEXEC) of DOSBox, so that you don't have to type this every time you start DOSBox

I did that (but changed the dvdvolume to "dvd_video" because the dvd driver has the same name as the DVDs that you introduce and the one I had was "dvd_video") and I got this message:
MSCDEX: Mounted subdirectory: limited support.
Drive D is mounted as CDRom /volumes/dvd_video

But then I try to execute any of the Heroes files and I get the exact same error messages as my other post !

This game is now protected due to it being sold on Good Old Games:

Thumbs up Memories!!

I first played a demo of this from PC Gamer and was instantly hooked. All of the games up until HOMM4 were just great fun.

If you don't consider HOMM4 to be fun then bury yourself. It was the most undervalued game ever. And... well... who cares, everyone plays what they like.
