Let me just start by apologizing for that post being somewhat... off. It was then, and is now, too early in the morning.

Second, I HATE the little image you have to refresh to post without being a member on these boards... most illegible thing I'd ever seen. I know, not the place to complain, but dear lord...

Alright. As for actually getting this running.

mount D F:\ -t cdrom

F being a virtual CD rom that has the ISO (I have the actual cd for this game somewhere, wonder if that would help... or if I could find it.)

D being my actual CD rom drive. And then... install has a file creation error when it begins (I tried mounting the install drive (E:\. which yes, I mount to e:\)

And BAM seems to search for the interplay/bam directory. I've tried moving the non-CD install, the one lacking all the cinematic to that directory, and discounting the somewhat likely possibility of a typo, it still can't find it, even when I do.

(As much as I like the game play, its the cinematic that make the game. Heck I even enjoyed the book that came with it, the 30 page novella about a paladins wife being kidnapped.)

Is there some step, once you have the ISO to follow when installing it with dosbox that I'm missing? Why can't it create the files? Do I need to alter a permission? I'm on x64 Windows 7.

You need a virtual C:

If you want to use partition E:\ (Windows path !!!!) create an \oldgames\ on your E: partition and mount that as virtual C: (yes, indeed as C: ) in dosbox, would be something as:
mount c e:\oldgames\
c:
Windows7 path would then be E:\oldgames\ but dosbox will see that folder as C:\

Sorry for that, but without it we've been flooded by spambots. ReCaptcha (or however it is spelled) was to be installed on the site and forums, but the process wasn't finished; right now only one tech support person has the acces needed, and he's extremely busy.
