Does anyone have the installation instructions for DDay America invades? I own all of the V for Victory and WaW games, so if someone knows where no-cd versions may be found, that information would be helpful.

I have seen other posts about some of this, but I could not locate a cdless version on the "underdog" site, nor was the link about dos games working.

If anyone has gotten these games to work on Windows XP, any information would be appreciated.

This last game of the World At War serie did not come with an installation batch file, the manual just said to use the Dos Xcopy command to copy the files to your hard drive.

Unfortunatly with recent OS (Windows XP) and/or (don't know the real reason) cd-rom drives the game does not find the drive. I even tried to run the game with Dosbox, which run an astonishingly amount of old dos games, with no success, even using a "mounted" ISO image of the cd-rom. This is a nice feature otherwise of Dosbox allowing to run games without inserting the cd-rom. But this does not work for this game.

I gave up on the Ibm version, and now I run the MAC version (fortunatly the cd-rom contains both versions) inside BasiliskII on Windows XP and it works fine, and this time the game find the cd-rom drive :D
