    yhep, installed the archives on my xp pc then just burned the files to a cd which then in turn copied to the c drive of my 66mhtz dos pc. wiz 1-5 seems to work fine though under xp for me. i just like the warm fuzzy feeling of playing on a 486 from DOS.

    put your modern PC in an ugly ass cream case. youll feel the same.

    These wizardry games are from the days where "installing" meant copy-pasta.

    so any "installation" issues, are not installation issues. They're your PC being goony.
