Since this is really a DOSBox question, you should have posted in the DOSBox forum. You have to mount both a c: drive and your floppy drive. By the way, this game is supported by ScummVM.

Just copy all of the contents from the first disk into a folder on your harddrive. Copy all INTRO.$0* files from the other disks into this same folder. Drop INSTALL.EXE onto a shortcut to DOSBox and let it install to "C:\PROPHECY if you have the US version or WEEN if you have the European. In the folder that you created, you will find a subfolder named PROPHECY or WEEN with all needed game files.

File might be broken.

Anyways, use a clean dosbox.conf, mountings like this:
mount a a:\ -t floppy
mount c c:\some\directory

and then test the installer. Post the exact error message if there is any,
and when exactly it happens.
