How to install Warcraft 2 on Windows XP

I'm not sure if this will work on all msdos games but this is a guide to installing Warcraft 2 on Windows XP.

DOSBOS link - http://dosbox.com/download.php?main=1

Just click the windows one.

@HiddenCare

Not exactly sure, I don't see why not this couldn't work but make sure to run all the programs as Administrator.

doesn't this cost money.

@spongeyperson1000

The cost of buying the game Warcraft II I suppose.

I'm sorry but I don't have the warcraft2 battlenet so I can't give you an answer really =/

[Bubbasider]

Are you sure it isn't the Warcraft 2 expansion? Double check that and then see if your disc is scratched I guess.

i got windows 7 any help?

I am using this on Windows 7 and everything is working perfect until I open from the shortcut. It says that I do not have the CD inserted into the drive and when I do to click "OK". It should be noted that I am installing the Dark Portal expansion as I already did the original game. it worked fine when I didn't have the shortcut but now it doesn't work...Help!! :(

everything was going fine until i downloaded mscdex as you said, then the whole thing got fucked up.

Hey thank you SOO much for this, ive wanted to play this for a while (plus it worked just fine for me on a vista) One thing though , the sound and frame rate seems to lag a fair amount. I'm running this on a low quality laptop.. but star craft seems to work just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. Thanks :)

Ya thats what happends to me flare3level

I have a problem, I can play after installing the games but if I shut down DOSBox (to stop playing) next time I want to play I have to install the games AGAIN.

For example, after installing warcraft 2 it says "war2 to run game" or something, and it works, but if I close dosbox the next time I type "war2" it says illegal command and I have to install the game again.
