It sounds like you had the same problem I had. Hopefully, this is your solution as well - 6 months later!
The following is a revised install/execute method based on DosFreak's very, very excellent post.
I have the Gamefest Forgotten Realms' compilation CD:
1. Install Menzoberranzan using CD's Win installer, installed into C:\Oldies\menzo
2. Open CD itself and copy over all RESXX files into install directory. For me these were: RES3, RES6, RES9 and RES10. Replace if prompted.
3. Copy CINE (cinematic) folder into install directory.
4. Copy CGEN (char. gen.) folder into install directory. [THIS WAS MY SOLN]
5. Edit INFO.DAT within install directory and change drive letter to C:
6. Open DOSBOX (I use D-Fend)
mount C: C:\Oldies\menzo
7. Set up sound thru DosBox using SOUND.BAT (Roland and SB16)
8. Execute program with MENZO.bat
NOTE: for #s 2-4 these items were found in D:\ itself not in its D:\menzo folder.
It should work with no problems!
Specific tweaking suggestions for smoother play are welcome.
