kr1919 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I get nothing. On Lords2 i was able to find a file other than setup (dosinst.exe) and i was able to choose from a list of soundcards. On Lords1 not so much. I just ran setup.exe from windows and i get no option on soundcards. There must be another install program i am missing then. May i ask which program you used to install lords1? Looks like you had better luck than me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get soundcard options that way (pick one of the Soundblasters, as they work well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr1919 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have tried that and i get"illegal command: win". This disk is a part of Lords Royal Collection. It may be a later version. Windows xp or win 7 & 8 will not run it. When i was younger I had a copy of this on 3.5" and ran it with either dos or win 3.1 or whatever windows was called back then.(i want to say it was deltree?) I will look online for another copy of Lords1 and see what happens. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Is there more than one type of executable in there? The first game in the Royal Collection should still use DOS, but it might also have a Windows executable to go with the DOS one. I will say this though; if there's only one executable that actually starts the game, and it's giving you the "win" error, then it's a Windows executable that won't run under DOS, or in DOSBox, at all.

The Coop Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Since I had to update one of the aspects of the GUS installer part, I figured I'd bump this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 It's been over a year. Time to nudge this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
