Yeah, it's saying:

Illegal command: install

The executable is not in the directory, then. What does DIR return?

[BOTR]

Three image files.

No .exe at all.


I downloaded it from here, and just unpacked it.

[edit] Just saw the two posts on this page. See next post to find your files. :amused: [/edit]

1) You have to turn ems memory emulation off.

either static (one time action, but you might have to change it back in order to play other games):
open your dosbox.conf in your DOSBox program directory (simply via the shortcut in the Start Menu if installed so) and change ems=true under the [dos] section to ems=false, then save

or dynamic (in every new DOSBox session, but "no" problems with other games):
>config -set dos ems=false

2) In DOSBox:

>mount c [ultima directory]
>c:
>ultima7

No installation needed!

No, I'm not. :P

But I figured it out long before now, after realizing the file didn't have an .exe in it at all.


Now I'm hung up on trying to get DOSbox to start up at the start of DOSbox.

When I put in "C:/NC/NC.exe" it doesn't tell me it's an illegal command, but it also doesn't do anything beyond that. It just goes to a new line.

try
c:
cd nc
nc.exe

Simpliest thing to do for total n00bs when you want to play that game:
run dosbox and@the prompt input
ems false
and hit < enter >
No need to 'set' or 'write' anything.

Works also fine.
