So you will see IN DOSBOX a C: when you startup dosbox.
Keep in mind that WINDOWS paths and DOSBOX paths aren't the same.
Open dosboxfolder again, edit dosboxconfig file and alter the
mount c \ to
mount c \dosgames\
Your USB dosbox will run with x:\dosgames\ mounted as C:, this is done so that when you get your compy back you simply can copy the whole dosgames folder on your HD, otherwise you'll have to start over once again, and we don't want that, do we?
7Zip will create the needed folders on your USB key.
You double click on keen.zip, must open with 7Zip now,
-> select ALL files in the archive
-> look above in the menu bar -> hit button 'EXTRACT', a popup window will open, input
x:\dosgames\temp\ in the 'copy to' field.
Here I must write a X:\ because you still haven't told your full paths, I have no idea what the drive letter is of your USB key ....*sigh*
Captain comic the same, unzip ALL files in the archive to
x:\dosgames\comic\
And check your PMs.
[EDIT]
It is obvious reading your posts that you have no idea at all what paths are nor how it works.
So read on and try to understand.
In Windows you can click on anything and Windows will go to the correct location (folder) and execute the according program. (Same goes for Mac).
Dos is another matter( and thus dosbox, as it's a Dos emulator).
Dos knows a 'root', Usually a C:
In dosbox you mount a directory (folder) that dosbox will use as C: (root)
From that C you can cd whatever to c:\whatever but only if that 'whatever' exist and is on that C:
When you have the Windows path
c:\users\sue\dosgames\ mounted as virtual C: in dosbox , dosbox only can see it as C: , and thus only can go to a sub that is located DIRECTLY on that C:
If you have in Windows c:\users\sue\dosgames\temp\ dosbox will only be able go to that 'temp' subfolder when it shows a C: prompt.
More: programs can only be found by dosbox and executed when the prompt is valid, means:
If you unzip the install files for Keen in
c:\users\sue\dosgames\temp\
and you mount c:\users\sue\dosgames\ as virtual C: in dosbox,
you must IN DOSBOX first go to c:\temp\ from C: ,
so IN DOSBOX you input:
cd temp so your prompt becomes c:\temp\ ,that 'prompt' is what you see in dosbox.
When in c:\temp\ you input install with the path to install
c:\keen\
dosbox will create a C:\keen on the Dosbox VIRTUAL C:
in Windows it will be written as c:\users\sue\dosgames\keen\
I know it's probably kinda confusing when you never been on Dos, but try to understand.
