Installing Blown Away or Panic in the Park on DOSBox


Install Windows
---------------

1. Download DOS Box: https://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1

2. Create a directory on your harddrive, e.g. "C:\DOSBox"

3. Put all Windows 3.11 installation files in this directory, e.g. at C:\DOSBox\WinSetup\
	Example:
	- Download Windows 3.11: https://winworldpc.com/download/482c0967-4dc3-9d11-c3a6-e280947e5254
	- Download 7zip
	- Unpack all *.img files using 7zip and put all the extracted files in C:\DOSBox\WinSetup\
	
4. Run DOSBox and type
	mount c "C:\DOSBox"			(Note: you can unmount using MOUNT -u c )
	c:
	cd \WinSetup
	setup

5. Step through setup (Express mode)

6. Run windows and verify that everything works:
	c:
	cd \Windows
	win
	
7. Exit DOSbox and open the program "DOSBOX 0.74 Options"
   (Start --> all Programs --> DOSBox --> Options --> DOSBOX 0.74 Options) and
   add the following commands to the [autoexec] section at the end of the file:
	
	[autoexec]
	mount c "C:\dosbox"
	call C:\autoexec.bat
	call C:\Windows\win.com
	c:
	cd \
	cls


Install Graphics Driver
-----------------------

1. Download http://www.sierrahelp.com/Files/3x_Files/S3DRIVERS.ZIP and unpack it to C:\DosBox\S3Setup

2. Start Windows 3.11 in DOSBox.

3. In the Main group, open Windows Setup.

4. Go to "Options" > "Change System Settings..."

5. In the "Display" drop down, select "Other display (Requires disk from OEM)..."

6. In the popup window, type the path to the driver files ie "c:\S3Setup" and click the "OK" button.

If the driver fails to install (and Windows won't start anymore), you can replace the driver by running setup.exe:

	cd \windows
	setup

Install Game
------------

To install/play the game, you have 3 possibilities:

A) Use a real CD ROM:
	Put the game CD in your CD drive (e.g. drive E:)
	Then type inside DOSBox:  mount d: E:\
	After this, you can run Windows 3.11 again, and install the game using the File Manager on drive d:
B) Put everything in a single directory
	Put all CD contents in a directory, e.g. "C:\Panic" or "C:\BA"
	Then mount this directory, e.g. by typing  mount d: C:\Panic
	After this, you can run Windows 3.11 again, and install the game using the File Manager on drive d:
	Also, you can put the contents of all 3 CDs in this directory C:\Panic . Then you don't have to switch CDs anymore.
C) Use ISO file(s):
	Inside DOSBox, type:  IMGMOUNT D .iso -t iso
	(Replace  with the path of your ISO file)
