I am bran new at this and have gone through the forums to try and find some help. I am having difficulty getting Privateer to install through DOSBox 0.65. I copied all the floppies to a directory in the root of my C drive and am able to mount that directory. But I am unsure what to do next. All six of the floppies only have a "Privateer.ZIP" file. I am also un able to extract each file WinRAR says the file is in an unknown format or damaged. I would love to play this game again. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
I have been trying to install Privateer from the floppies. In DOSBox I mount both my C drive and my floppy drive and run the installer off the floppy. I get through the sound and install path configerations. Then when I select "Install With these Options" the floppy drive works for a sec then asks I get a prompt "Insert the Last disk of the backup set-Press a key when ready" So I insert Disk #6 (which I'm assuming is the last one, did Privateer come on six disks or is there seven)? Hit a button, the drive works for a sec then I get another prompt "Insert disk #1-Press a key when ready". Then that is it. Ikeep getting the same prompt after that; "Insert disk #1- Press a key when ready". Could my floppy be bad. I can read it fine in the windows explorer. What can I do to solve this problem?
 
Never mind. I got it to work. It would seem the PKUNZIP utility does not like DOSBox. As soon as I tried it from the standard windows "Command Prompt" it worked fine. Thanks anyway.
