rename: Permission denied in Monkey Island 1 Flynnsbit packs

[AmintaMister]

Lately I have the same problem both on Top300 and Shareware Flynnsbit packs. I can't get to run Monkey Island 1, if I try the same "ExoDOS" formatted game in a "clean" MS Dos 6.22 environment it perfectly works!


The problem is with this line:

Code: Select all

rename MONKEY.EXE MONKEY.OLD

CODE: SELECT ALL

that generates this error:

Code: Select all

rename: Permission denied
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

I don't get it. There isn't a rename command in any of my monkey island scripts. Here it is: https://github.com/flynnsbit/Top300_upd ... i1/run.bat

Where are you seeing that rename line?

EDIT: Found it: https://github.com/flynnsbit/Top300_upd ... /APPLY.BAT

Not sure why apply would be running if you are just playing the game.

There is a script in floppy called "APPLY.BAT". Why are you running that?

Just run Run.bat or 1_START.BAT to launch the game.
