DOS ain't dead

INSTALL not a recognizable command. Need help (Users)

posted by michaelhunter33, 25.05.2009, 03:36

I am trying to install a very small DOS program on to a Windows XP machine.
The diskette contains two files:

REPLACE. BAT (2KB) and TRIPLAY.EXE (145 KB)

The program's .exe file cannot be run from the diskette it comes in.
In order to install the program, the instruction call for the command

A:\>INSTALL C

That is the word INSTALL followed by a space followed by the letter for the hard drive I am installing on to (Drive C in my case)

When I do that I get the message:
"INSTALL is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

What other command(s)can I use or how else can I install this program?

Any help would be appreciated.
