mount a c:\games\ultimase
A:
install

(you'll also need a C mount, of course)

Sorry darylrogers, we never know how keen someeone is on the dosbox prompt, so to spell it out for you:

To install :
mount a c:\Games\UltimaSE -t floppy
mount c c:\Games\
a:
install

accept C:\savage, choose SB, type of install: time saving-(this will copy all the needed files)- and VGA....mouse or keyb at your choice.
Let it run, takes some time, will leave you in c:\savage (dosbox path) run with savage.

To play later:

mount c c:\Games\
c:
cd savage
savage

That should do it if I didn't forgot something. :wondering:

BTW, you'll also need the manual for the copy protection question.
PDF format, findable at the game sheet on main site.
If you need a PDF reader, don't install Adobe but:
FOXIT

OK, I tried this. Here is the result:

Z:\>mount a c:\Games\UltimaSE-t floppy
Directory c:\Games\UltimaSE-t doesn't exist

Z:\>mount c c:\Games\
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\Games\

Z:\>a:
Drive A does not exist!
You must mount it first. Type intro or intro mount for more information.

Z:\>install
Illegal command: Install.

The error of the results is already in your post....

You wrote: "UltimaSE-t" (no space)
Should be: "UltimaSE -t" (with space)

Try again....

OK, I did this and it seemed to work. At the end, it just closed out and did not leave me anywhere. There was no "c:\savage (dosbox path) run with savage."

-------------------------
To play later:

mount c c:\Games\
c:
cd savage
savage
----------------------

I changed the DOSBox config to the above, run DOSBox, and now I get

Z:\>c:

C:\>cd savage

C:\>SAVAGE\savage
Illegal command: savage.

C:\SAVAGE>

(BTW, thanks for all the assistance. I know I'm almost there...)

Try this...

Go to C:\savage

But instead of typing savage, type:

Dir

make a screenshot and post it here.. (Or look for a .exe)

You're right. You're almost there..

OK, this is my mount command lines:

mount c c:\games\ultimase
c:
Savage
mount a c:\games\ultimase
a:
install

When I run DOSBox with this, it opens the Installation Menu. The Current Selection is dafaulted to "A." I cannot change this. It does not recognize any other drive on the computer. If I type "C" I get a pop-up saying "This drive does not exist."

If I continue with the set-up, it next gives the Mouse/Keyboard installation menu, then the Graphics installation menu, then the Sound System installation menu. After these choices are made, I get w pop-up saying "Is the current configuration correct?" I respond "Y." I get a pop-up telling me to insert a blank floppy into the floppy drive. After I do, I get another pop-up telling me to insert the original Savage Empire Disk 1 into the floppy drive. This I cannot do.

I am using an old Windows 98 computer to run these games. I am using a newer comptuer to download the zipped games files onto a flash drive. I then use the flash drive to upload the games to the old computer. I tried to download the Savage Empire zipped files onto a floppy disc on the new computer, but the files are too large.

( not really sorry, but yeah ....)

Wait a sec ....
A sec...:

Me thinks this is where it goes wrong.
Delete and unzip the archive again in c:\games\ultimase\.
Start from a fresh uncompressed archive, not one that already gone through the install with wrong params.

Start completely over from scratch. A new begin so to speak .....

[Edit]
Added screenie made with dir /w, this is what it should look like.

Indeed, just tested and once you've gone through the install procedure it won't work again from the instaleed folder, so delete your old c:\games\ultimase\ and uncompress the archive again, then it will work.

The lights dim, the orchestra warms up, the choir bursts into song: "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"

It works! I did have to delete the old folder and start from scratch. Thank you so very much, you are the best! Anything I can do you for, let me know.
