Anybody knows a compatibel Daemon Tool version for W98 ?

Post by fowler »

Hi,
Looking desesperately for version of Daemon Tool that would be working in a virtual box / W98 environement ? I read somewhere all versions prior 4.30.4 should be ok but I tried 4.30.3 and some other versions before as well and none is able to launch inside the VB/W98 box. I need to install a game that have a CD check function so I can't just use the host to mount the game ISO file with later Daemon Tools versions, transfer the files to the VB for further install. When doing this the game install fine but it checks if the CD is there and of course as it is not the game would not start. Any help appreciated guys. Thanks

Why use the host to mount the ISO? Mount the ISO in the guest. On the VM settings, Storage, 1) select the CD icon on the left, 2) click on the CD icon on the right and 3) select your ISO. Done.
