+ | The installer will not run properly with the default DOSBox settings. The issue is that the installer cannot always properly detect the speed of the CD-ROM and will either stop responding or not allow installation to proceed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following settings should allow the installer to work: | ||
+ | * The CD-ROM must be mounted with basic MSCDEX support only (no low-level support). | ||
+ | * The <code>[cpu]</code> section of <code>dosbox.conf</code> ''must'' have both of the following: | ||
+ | ** <code>core=normal</code> or <code>core=simple</code> | ||
+ | ** <code>cycles=max</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The speed test may need to be run more than once before it works. If the installer will still not work, try one or more of the following: | ||
+ | * Dismount any other drives that have been mounted with MSCDEX support. | ||
+ | * Copy the files from the CD-ROM to a folder on the hard drive, mount the folder with basic MSCDEX support, and run the installer from there. | ||
+ | * Copy the data track from the CD-ROM to a .iso file, use the <code>imgmount</code> command to mount the .iso file (use <code>-t iso</code> when mounting), and run the installer from there. | ||
