Using your files and properly mounting worked (I was mounting c:\dsavant to D in dosbox.. doh!).

I'm still getting the error when I run vinstall, so I can't change the sound from pc speakers to soundblaster but at least I can play. Thanks!

well, make it like this:
put your game to c:\wiz\DSAVANT

in dosbox do it like
mount c: c:\wiz
cd dsavant

and install should run just fine

Just a quick note: this game is awesome. For those of you suffering from the long timesinks in-game (i.e. resting); use dosbox's "turbo" feature (default hold down alt+f12). It speeds up whatever game you're running and makes resting not so boring.

Reading this thread I have to ask one single question: Why do we not have it pre-installed?!

i'd say iso is better... and even easier to instal in my opinion. i dont know why did scatty start mentioning the preinstalled version in some directory. now noobs rather go for that cause they don;t know what isos are

You would say ISO is better, I'm for offering games as original as possible, but Abandonia goes for pre-installed downloads. And pre-installed is easier to install because the instructions look like this:

Installation Guide
1) Do nothing - it's pre-installed!

(Okay, in case of Wizardry VII and running it directly under the OS you have to cut/copy and paste the WIZ-CD directory to C:\, but I'm searching for the config spot to change this.)

well you STILL need to put in some commands in dosbox and mount your drives, not only put some stuff in to a directory. and instead of installation guide there goes dosbox guide anyways
so if you type one more or less mount d c:\w7.iso -t cdrom realy doesn't matter in my opinion
