Help - Vista & DOS application

Hi All

I need to install an old DOS application on my new laptop.

I can find the DOS script.

BUT

Having no A: drive everything is either on a datastick (D or the C: drive.

However each time I try to run the install program I get a run time error

HELP!!!

Cheers Gareth

If the error is caused by the absence of a floppy drive open a command prompt and enter:

Thanks Arthur

Unfortunately I still get the runtime error, Probably because Vista is very anti DOS

Any other suggestions?
