    Installing msDOS game on XP
    I am trying to install an old DOS game called SimAnt which I got from Download SimAnt game - Abandonware Online

    When I run the installer which works in an old DOS format I am asked to specify a few things such as the directory etc... then it says it will withdraw all the missing info for the installation from the folder A (floppy).. so I made a copy of the files I got from the site on a floppy but it didn't work.. . Any ideas on how to install this game? I checked the help section on the site but they don't mention anything similar. So I thought I would check here first.
    Thanks

    I also installed DOSBOX so I can run the game in it (that would be the next question lol)
