In order to know what's exactly going on and so help you resolve your problem, I need you to answer these questions:
* Where have you unpacked the game to on your HDD?
* Did you modify your DOSBox autoexec? If no, skip to the next question. If yes, what did you put in it?
* What exact commands have you entered after starting DOSBox?
* Repeat everything you did until you get the error, then enter the DIR command. What does it return?

-I unpacked it on C. It looks like this C:\BlackThorne.
-I did not modify it, so I'm skipping to the next one.
-I enter these commands:
Mount c C:\blackthorne
c:
dir
setup
At this point I save settings and exit. After that, it says, "Setup complete! Type 'BTHORNE' to start game." However, it says that BTHORNE is an illegal command after doing so.
-This is what I get:

Just like I presumed, the directory does not contain an executable of the name you are trying to run.

Try running Black.exe.

[projectoffset]

It managed to activate black.exe, however, all i get is a black screen. Nothing else.

I'll dig a different archive up from my personal collection, then.
It looks like we have to replace the one currently on the site - thanks for bringing the problem to my attention.

The game works, run setup, then crack, then black.

[Edit]
I think that you only need to run crack once.

Yeah, like with what Underdogs had (found @ hotud.org today). For example with abandonia version you won't set up GUS soundcard as setup batch file is missing.

It's been a long time I didn't play this game but when I did the setup and stuff, it gives an error and stuff.
In other words I can't play the game, for some reason I was disapointed cause I can't play the game

It is nice game, but it is similar than Flashback. The story is different, but the type of levels are almost same.
I mean especially the background colors of the different levels... Nevermind, it is great game

This is probably a bit obvious for the average geek here... but someone was asking earlier how to enter passwords as they were playing the game from the start each time. Same with me but just worked it out.

At the start, you have options, like start, practice, password etc. Choose passwords, and there's four letters with one flashing. Use up and down cursor keys to change the flashing letters to the password, then start playing where you left off.

Yes, it took two days for me to get that, doesn't bode well for me finishing the game, huh?
