sorry If I'm being stupid - I'm new to this

ok, let's assume your CD drive is D:\ and the directory where you want to install DOTT is C:\dosprog\


create a new folder 'dosprog' on your C:\ harddisk (in Windows)

start DOSBox


mount the drives as follows:

mount c c:\dosprog\
mount d d:\ -t cdrom

you should be able to access drives C:\ and D:\ in DOSBox now.

switch to D:\

install the game to C:\

switch to C:\

the game should be installed there now


as an alternative:

You have two mounts in DOSBox, yes?
C: and D:, where C: is the hard drive and D: is the CD-Rom drive, yes?
Enter
D:
Then
dir *.exe
dir *.com
dir *.bat
One of the file names returned will be "setup", "install" or something similar. Enter it's name to run it and begin the installation procedure.

thanks for the help - it seems to be working now! :thumbs:

one question - do I have to go through the same procedure every time I want to play it?

No - if you've installed it, you can just run it again.
