I purchased Daggerfall some number of years ago, but never could be bothered to get it to work. I've recently rediscovered it among my collection of PC games, and so figured that now might be an opportune time to try it out. I managed to get the game itself installed successfully via DOSBox. However, the issue is that when I try to run the patch in DOSBox, it won't register that the patch is in my Daggerfall directory (even when it, y'know, is), and I can't determine why or how to resolve it.

Make sure that DOSBox runs in administrator mode, so the patch can do the patching.

I tried it, but it doesn't seem to be working. It's still telling me that it isn't located in my Daggerfall directory.
