I'm trying to install DOOM (the shareware version) on my old Compaq running Windows 3.11. I've got the files
- deice.exe
- dooms_19.1
- dooms_19.2
- dooms_19.dat
- install.bat
all downloaded and I have a USB floppy drive. However, I'm having trouble installing it, and I think it has something to do with which files I'm loading onto what disk. So far, I've figured out that I need
- deice.exe
- install.bat
- dooms_19.dat
on the first disk I insert. This seems to get the install system up and running. However, there are several more disks that have to be inserted, and so far, my combinations of files and disks have been wrong. I know it's a longshot, but does anyone here know/remember which files go on which disk?
And before anyone asks, yes, I know it can be done on DOSbox, but my laptop's screen resolution is actually too high (from what I've tried) to do a full-screen display of DOOM on DOSbox... so to the Clinton-era machine we go.
install.bat
runs the installer executable with some sort of special arguments or entries. Also depending on the installer, it may accept that all needed files are in the same physical drive. So, my suggestion is to try and have all files together when you install.
