I'm choosing to copy the files to my LaunchBox MS-DOS folder and the installer for the game does run within DOSBOX, but throws a failure error during install.

Figured it out, using Sierra's DOSBox conf file.

Settings within Launchbox after copying game to Launchbox's DOS games folder:

Application path: Games\MS-DOS\Willy Beamish CD\WILLY.EXE

Application command-line parameters: .\resource.cfg

Cheers for the swift reply!
