The program itself is actually an EXE file which I find a little ironic, I was wondering if some one can help me figure out how to make this work, so that i can set this up in the Autoexe.txt file so I can just run the program each time from there.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The home page of vDos.info states:
"If you don't already use (still rely on) a DOS application, want to play/experiment with DOS, its command prompt, programs or games: Forget about vDos, it is not meant for you!"
So you should already have a working copy of the program somewhere.
However, if you installed vDos to C:\vDos:
Windows:
Create a subdirectory like Install (C:\vDos\Install).
Copy the contents of both disks to there (overwritef iles is OK).
Start vDos
vDos command prompt:
use a: c:\vdos\install
a:install (or whatever to run for installation)
Installation program:
Install to C:
When the installation program asks you to swap disks, just press Enter (both disks are at A:).

DOS programs needs no installation. Just copy the directory(ies) from the old to the new PC. That way you also get any settings or data.
