Just a guess, but I remember DOS only supported 512 files in the root directory of a hard drive, even less on a floppy. I can't remember if there was a file limit in subdirectories or not but I thought it was just the root directory. I ran into the exact same thing years ago copying files to a 44 meg Syquest; a directory full message even though I had barely used half the capacity. I don't remember now how I got around it. I either put them in a subdirectory or split them up into individual folders.

well, if i put it only into a subdirectory it don works, but spliting up into 2 parts do... i dont understand it 🙄

but how can i install when the files are in different directorys??

edit:// oh thats actually not the prob.

because if I start setup.exe there is a message that setup doeson't finds the xms or there is no xms driver installed... whats the matter?
where can i get a xms driver?
or what is wrong?

Real dos: himem.sys (installed in config.sys)
DOSBox: xms=true in dosbox.conf

xms is true, i used dos 6 image with himem, it makes no sense... 😖

xms sould be false
you cannot use two drivers for xms, and real dos doesn't understand dosbox's driver 😀

wd: hm.. i wonder.. maybe it would be good to automatically set xms,ems,umb=false when you use a boot command?

that is easy to implement.
Think it's a good idea.
as booters don't expect it.

that was the prob.!

Now installing works, but there is the next problem:
when 3.11 is installed, setup must boot. if it boots, there appears a message:
(i translated it in english, i dont know how its written in the real english version)

"Error while initalizing the screen-adapter. You have to run setup again."

Whats the matter?
in the article "How to run Win3.11 on Dosbox Guide" theres somethin about a "Tseng-Driver", but
Setup dont ask me for a driver?!

Qbix means he fixed the problem. (one of the problems mentioned here anyway, I didn't read everything)
