Instructions for noobs like myself that haven't used dosbox, simple enough for a monkey like me. these are step by step ways to make it easier for you with no used-this-for-years shorthand that seems to make things simple but is over the heads of us children.
struggled but the way I got mine to work on dosbox
made folder under C: called oldgames and in that a folder called w2tod, threw the game files in w2tod, then renamed the long named file "warcraft-ii-ti......." to "wc2tod" copied all the files from this and pasted into the first w2tod file. Then in dosbox: (don't use caps lock, the cdrom part was case sensitive)
Z:\ mount c c:\oldgames
Z:\ mount d C:\oldgames\W2tod\wc2tod -t cdrom
Z:\C:
C:\cd w2tod
C:\w2todwar2cd.bat
Voila! the game starts! Credit where it's due, mixed what was commented on here by fluffy, and admin, to what I was trying to follow on the Dosbox wiki basic setup. Heck this may be what fluffy was talking about entirely but I couldn't really understand anything in there except make copy of file in same file. though mine wouldn't let me keep it the same name so added a "c".

I struggled a bit to get this working but here's what worked:
1 - Run setup.exe to detect and configure a music device
2 - Mount the game folder as a separate disk, D:
3 - Run the game normally, it won't ask for the CD anymore :)

Another nifty trick to get this to work: Make a copy of the game folder inside the game folder (ie. if you named the game folder WC2 - copy it and place it inside WC2), then just edit the war2.ini file of the original folder to use the copied folder as the cd (ie. cdpath=\WC2\).
Works fine with DOSBox and I don't need to remember to do anything special when I want to play the game in the future.

For play, u just need put the folder game in the root: "D-Fend Reloaded\VirtualHD", next add in D-fend as folder ad floppy/cd mount in F unit
Then edit the file "war2.ini", and rename the file cdpath=F:\ (in the first row)...
That is all all, on edit profile u can activate sound, but how I can enable the music?

I got it to work... With D-Fend, in the Menu select "Drives", then "Add" the whole Folder as a CD Drive "D".
Then edit the file "war2.ini", and rename the file cdpath=D:\ (in the first row)...
than it works! Have fun

@all
Try running the game with D-fend reloaded.
Just wrap the zip file to D-Fend and start it from there. Problem solved!

They said I would need CD before I can play Single Player. How to overcome this?

How can I run the game in true full screen? Even I clik alt+enter the screen still appears small.
