Whenever I try to install a DOS game on DOSBox, it always says there is not enough space to install it. I'm taking an .iso, mounting it, mounting the drive, running the install, and it says there is no space.
I've tried that thing where you set the space, but I couldn't get it to work. Any help?

[edit.. dangit. I just reread your post for the 3rd time and you did say you mounted a drive to install to, not just the iso. I don't know then, sorry.]
Did you mount a drive to install it to?
Sounds like you just mounted an ISO to look like a CD-ROM drive, but didn't mount a location on your hard drive to install to.

Yeah, I was mounting a CD-ROM drive that had the .iso mounted on it. How do I do that plus add a way to install it to my harddrive?

To mount a hard drive, you use a command like
mount C "C:\Program Files\DOSGames"
After doing that, C: within dosbox will point to the given folder on your real drive.
I might not have the syntax exactly correct. I don't have it installed right now, but it's something like that.
You should also be able to mount the CD-ROM at the same time, just use a different letter for it so they don't conflict.
However, I'm not familiar with the most recent versions of dosbox. I saw someone else using it recently and it looked like they changed the interface. Last version I used was at least a couple years old now.
