Running MS-DOS games with long file names under DOSBox

dosboxmsdos

I'm trying to play a DOS game under DOSBox that uses long filenames. Here's the ISO as seen from macOS:

The ISO as imgmounted inside DOSBox:

I'm trying to start install.bat but I can't figure out how to do it. Based on the fact that it's a DOS game and it uses long filenames, I suspect that it was made for MS-DOS 7.

How do I install and run this game?

Edit: I noticed something odd. When I extract the ISO's folder structure and mount them, the directory structure looks normal. But for reasons beyond the scope of this post (the soundtrack being one of them), I need the actual ISO for the game to function properly.

Here's the directory listing if I just mount the extracted contents of the ISO with mount:

This needs to be installed under Windows (autorun.exe). Start Windows, insert the CD / floppy, and then run autorun.exe (it may also be automatically run). Make sure you use Windows 95. It has support for long filenames. Don't use 3.11.
