When you double click that "setup" icon , does installing DOS prompt come then?

23

Yep - that's exactly when it happens.

24

Try to use command prompt to launch that "setup" program. Open cmd (Start>Run>cmd). Then type d:. After that type setup. Of course you have to press "Enter" after all typed commands.

25

Just tried that, but get the same error message.

I'm guessing I've hit a brick wall here - or is there any way of downloading another program that is similar to MS DOS?

You cant install or run MS.dos on a windows system after ver 3.1 unless you set up a dual boot arrangement.

And is a dual boot arrangement easy to set up?

Easier yes, but you also use up your allocated disk space on the forums, I have 1.95mb for uploading however I'm only using about 37.65kb of it.

Just been reading about a free emulator to run dos games and applications in called DosBox. It fools any dos software into thinking it is running in dos.

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

The FAQ's and downloads are at the top of the page.

Also available and recommended is D-Fend which stores your setting when you use the DosBox, this is available under the tools section of the downloads.

A music CD (not an audio CD) that's a CD EXTRA/Enhanced CD from 1997 wants you to install DOS? :rolleyes::lol:

What files are you trying to get off the disc, say a music video or something?

Wouldn't surprise me, the Iron Maiden remasters which were released in 1998 prompt the user to install some crapware by the name of Director Player that was probably released a few years before the birth of Christ. Even performing the sign of the cross to access the multimedia files didn't help. :lol:
