I thought i'd try installing my first real door and try lord since it looked easy and lots of bbss has it installed. well I must be missing something or something. I've been working on it the last 3 days and get mostly errors.

What errors?

On 32-bit Windows, dosbox or anything else is not needed. Just Windows (32-bit) is all you need. See also:
