I recently tried to play a sierra on-line game called Outpost 1.5 from the original disc. but i get an incompatibility error for either a 32 bit or a 64 bit version. I'm running a 64 bit windows 7 system.
Well i found the game under an abandonware site and downloaded it. The site suggested the use of D-Fend to play abandoware games, so I downloaded that as well.

Following the advice on loading games I get conflicting messages.

While trying to load the game into D-Fend from a zip file it gives a message that it is a windows game and it is unable to be imported into D-Fend that way.

So I have created a separate game folder on my hard drive with the game in it as well as a game folder inside D-Fend with the game in it. When I try import the game I get the following message.

The file {path} is a DOS executable. You should use DOSBox to open this file instead of starting it directly.

When I try to start it in DOSBox it say it requires Microsoft Windows.

It appears that the D-Fend Reloader is capable of playing windows games as it seems to have an emulator in it.

Do some programs have both dos and windows command lines that need both to play?

If the above is true how do you play them using D-Fend Reloader?
