Dosbox?
But as Z is originally a CD game, do you have the CD ?

Create a F:\games
run dosbox and input:
mount c f:\games
mount d e:\ -t cdrom
d:
install


For further info about soundsettings read the stickies, as GAMER said.

????? Confuzzled
Dosbox doesn't work with c:\program files, or you should mount c:\program files\ as C:
That's NOT indicated.

If you want to use your C create a C:\games\ and mount that as C in dosbox.
READ THE STICKIES.

[EDIT
Or did you meant dosbox 0.72 itself? The program?
Simply copy the whole dosbox folder to c:\program files\
And create a shortcut on your desktop.
Or ..... install dosbox 0.72 again, in progfiles, won't hurt, really not, and so you will have the appropiate shortcuts and start menu items.

I installed the game like you said. And it worked. But now i have no clue how to start it, without installing it every time. How do i just play the game after i installed it?

Lol. I am talking about Z of course. I installed it using dosbox.

Your new topic you created is deleted.
You have the answers in this -(recent!)- topic and in the stickies, read them.
You are NOT allowed to create a new topic every time a question about Z! pops up in your skull.
Z! is not abandonware, Z! is still supported, eventually ask help on the official site.

Next topics you create about the same will simply be deleted

Hi Guys,

I have got Z-ext working by:
- install MS Virtual PC (vpc)
- install Win 95/98/ME in vpc
- install Z on Win/95/98/ME on vpc

However, multiplayer did not work in this configuration...yet...
