Fantasy General (DOS) game install issues

Hi all,

I grabbed the old DOS game Fantasy General from Abandonia. It comes in a folder that is essentially a copy of the original CD. However no matter how I install it all I get is a "Run Command" window. Do I need to install something like DOSBOX first by chance?

Thanks in advance.

If it's a DOS game run it with DOSbox. Have a look at Boxer:
