 I just downloaded Might and Magic III:Isles of Terra. It seems to be missing an .exe file. The only .exe file is the install.exe. Any thoughts? |

run the install program under a dosbox session. This will install the game to Dosbox's virtual C drive. |

Thanks for the response but,
I installed the program in DOSBox and it appeared to install correctly but when I typed the "dir" command the only file with an .exe was the "install.exe" file.
Perhaps the file I downloaded was incomplete. Would it make a difference which mirror I used?
Thanks |

OK, having had a coulple of spare minutes at work i downloaded it (from the freewebtown mirror). The game has to be installed from floppy disk. I have none lying around but from the naming schme i would guess u need 3 disks (or one if you keep deleting the files). I THINK, and its only a THINK!
Disk 1
INSTALL.EXE
M&M_III_.1
MM3.NWC
MM3.PT0
MM3.PT1
Disk 2
M&M_III_.2
M&M_III_.3
MM3.PT2
MM3.PT3
Disk 3
M&M_III_.4
M&M_III_.5
MM3.PT4
Now thats only a guess if u have a usb drive, and you know how to change ur drive letters in xp u can copy all the files onto it and run them.
I'll fire up my dos comp and upload the 'installed' files later in the week.

Thanks, Martin. I got it to work. You were correct in that it wants to install from a floppy. I copied ALL the files to a memory stick and installed it from there.
I posted a comment giving instuctions, for future users.
Thanks again,
