I installed on XP Pro using the Don Wells procedure mentioned in that long post and there was no need for DOSBox.

At one time I was in a position to try to install SHCE or SH1 on as many different types of computers running XP I could find. The Don Wells procedure worked on all of them.

As I mentioned I also tried un-zipping a zip which worked and DOSBox. DOSBox finally became the way to go after Vista came out.

Too bad XP came out mostly incompatible with SH1 because IMO it had a big part in people losing interest in SH1.

A great old DOS classic and I have many nice memories playing Silent Hunter!

Happy Hunting!
