HELP Game installers in dosbox canīt create folders.

Hello, I need help installing Crusader:No Remorse in Ubuntu. I mount the image without problem and run the installer, everything is ok until the installer has to create a folder in the c: then the following message is prompted: "Unable to create destination directory". I've tried with other games (like DuneCD) with the sames results. Thanks.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

By default dosbox runs from the z:\ and you have to configure it to mount c: to the desired directory.

Code:
Z:\>MOUNT C ~/DOS_path
