Installation problems (2006-11-28 04:59)

The game itself seems to work fine in DOSBox 0.65. However the game won't install easily. Under Windows 95 OSR 2 I found out that it will only install on a FAT16 partition not on FAT32. The installation program shows a FAT16 partition as "Festplatte" (harddisk) whereas a FAT32 partition is erroneously identified as "Ungültiges Laufwerk" (invalid drive) and Zeppelin cannot be installed on it. Running the setup directly inside DOSBox produces the same error. Once I ran the installation program in Windows 95 on a FAT16 partition and copied the then created directory, actually playing the game in DOSBox is possible.
