I just got a copy apparantly an OLD version for Windows
3.1 Requiring MS-DOS or PC-DOS operating system version
3.1 or later
Microsoft Windows 3.1 MS-DOS CD-ROM extentions (MSCDEX)
version 2.2 or later.

I am using WINDOWS XP

& keep getting the message:

ERROR - Could not copy file

SETUP1.EX_'>C:\\WINDOWS\setup1.exe

Will programs requiring DOS not run on the XP platform?

Hi Doug,

When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available,
or search at: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm For sound
issues use: http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound Good Luck!
