Here is a step by step guide to get it running.

1) Download DOSBox from here

2) Run the DOSBox installer

Double Click the install file Accept Terms Click Next Click next to accept install location Complete Install Double Click the DOSBox icon The DOSBox window

    3) Now your at the DOSBox prompt you need to do a couple of commands before your up and running3a) My Settlers 2 folder is in my D:\games\settlers ( I dont think DOSBox likes really deep directories so keep them under 255 chars long) a location like above is perfect

    3b) So I first have to type “mount d d:\” press enter without the quotes

    3c) Then I type “d:” without the quotes press enter

    3d) Then I type “cd games” without the quotes press enter

    3e) Then I type “cd se” without the quotes HIT the Tab key to tab complete the directory name and press enter

    3f) You are now in the settlers directory – type “s2″ without the quotes press enter

And your done! Enjoy!
