Glad you got it figured out.   Always cool to meet another DOS enthusiast.
DOS really brings back some memories of being a kid with some IBM floppies.  There is something so exciting about when the install begins!

Why don't you open the ISO in windows, copy the install files from the iso to c:\dosgames\earthtrk (or whatever), then run DosBox as you have in the screenshot. Should work.
This was the answer. Loaded the contents into that folder and then tried again and it went right into the install.

Kevin, you were also right, I was trying to launch straight from the .ISO which was incorrect. I was reading how to "mount an .ISO volume in DropBox" online and that sent me down the wrong path.

Does anyone else remember this game Earth Treks from 1993?.... I played the shit out of this in our school's apple computer lab. Took me a long time to even find the files for this game and now actually get it running.  The audio isn't quite right, so I might try the IBM speaker instead of the Sound Blaster and see if that fixes it. But overall super satisfying and really nostalgic, haven't see this in 25+ years, good stuff!

Thanks for all the feedback

Failing that... a CD game with install.exe on it? Are you sure it's a DOS game and not a Windows game?

What does the readme file say? ]]> any DosBox savvy people out there?... need some help http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=187155 2019-05-16T20:31:45 -05.00 Portabello 9 any DosBox savvy people out there?... need some help http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=187155 2019-05-16T17:41:26 -05.00 Portabello 9 any DosBox savvy people out there?... need some help http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=187155 2019-05-16T17:26:23 -05.00 Portabello 9
Wouldn't you need to mount c d:\ or something, and then go into c: and actually use the CD? ]]> any DosBox savvy people out there?... need some help http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=187155 2019-05-16T16:50:23 -05.00 Portabello 9
It's an .iso file that when mounted on my PC has an install.exe fill inside (with DAT install file as well). see pic below...


I'm getting the directory opened but then get stuck when loading the ISO... what do I type next??
