Cakewalk 5.0 for DOS (Aug 1994?)

<< < (2/4) > >>

After unzipping the file from this site, it shows two other files, CWD5a  and CWD5b. I then copied the contents CWD5b and pasted it into CWD5a......opened it and scrolled down, double clicked on the Setup icon....it then opened
a DOS window and l kept pressing Enter until all the installation stages were completed.  All of this was done by trial and error so check it out, there might be a better way.

yea usually in most DOS installers, if all the files get dumped into the same directory
it will install seamlessly and find the files automatically and sometimes it will even bypass the insert floppy msg
because it finds the files without even asking...

of course that does nto account for the rare times when a program has different files with the same filename which then complicates things further requiring u to actually use real floppies + real floppy drive

Got it installed on Windows 7 32bit,  not even sure all that l did.....ended up dragging the install folder to desktop...
scrolled around inside the folder....double clicked on the Cakewalk DOS or Cakewalk Live icons.....they both opened
but in a small window, which l couldn't get to expand.......all just trial and error.

Thanks for the info. I will try that with Windows 10.

When I was in Italy last week I found my vintage PC stuff.
I couldn't bring back the two desktop PCs (Pentium 1 and PIII) but got a couple of ISA sound cards and my original ISA MPU401 which is definitely supported by CW5 DOS.

Will do some testing in due course as I have an old PC with ISA slots :)

I will install it the hard way, by copying the two disk images to 5 1/4 floppies...

Hello,
i'm searching for the Driver for the Music Quest 2 Port/SE Interface, to work with Cakewalk DOS.  Install instructions would be appreciated also, thanks much.

Regards
