*IF* you have the original CD version you can't install from A:
-(what a weird idea, did you ever saw a CDDrive as a: ?)-
but you must mount your CDDrive as d in dosbox, install the game from d: on c: in dosbox.

I don't have the HotU version,-(I have the original)- shouldn't you better ask over there?
Afterall, they should know how to get their games running, I think.

What you could try eventually is:
Create FIRST a c:\users\attroesa\oldgames\
Don't use your dosboxfolder as virtual C , bad idea.
Drag your SC folder to c:\users\attroesa\ and:
mount c c:\users\attroesa\oldgames\
mount d c:\users\attroesa\sc\ -t cdrom

This will mount it as D CDDrive, try to install it that way.-(Maybe, long shot ...)-
