I've tested the game under XP and Vista, no problems.

If you want my mount lines, there you go:
Under XP:
mount c e:\games\
c:
cd shannara
shannara


Under Vista(32-64):
mount c "c:\users\my name\oldgames\
c:
cd shannara
shannara


And also the drag/drop method mentioned by Frodo.

No problems.

To repeat what has been said already many times:
Do not run install, simply unzip the WHOLE shannara folder and run shannara.exe.

BTW, the saves are stored in 3 files apparently:

restart.dat
journal.00x
shan00x.sav

Those 3 are the created files on current date/time.

Things that could go wrong with your game:

Uncompatible unarchiver?-( Unlikely, but....)- Try 7zip.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Be sure to select the whole shannara folder in the archive to extract.
Your OS? Write restrictions? Vista?
Dosbox version? I've tested the game under 0.72 and the new released 0.73.

Slip of the tongue? The AB archive is not a RAR file but a ZIP file.
