nah, dosbox is easy to use.

I've used it to play 10rogue (from the 80s) and Theme Park and the likes

put the program you're trying to run at c:\

when you open dosbox, type CD\

That'll put you to the C:\ then just type the file you're trying to run?

Should hopefully work?

C:\Users\Matt\Downloads\tv\install.exe

Bit of a long way of doing it isn't it. cd c:\users\matt\download\tv will do the same job.

I'm sure I've run installs under compatibility mode before without trouble.
