it's supposed to
but it's good to know that the other installer (based on dgVoodoo) also works on XP, and same goes for Bokkie's TR Advanced Installer
I will add that dgVoodoo things are less demanding hardware-wise than Dosbox
finally a big caveat: for all Windows versions (yes, XP included) which are x64 (64bit) as opposed to x86 aka 32bit, said dgVoodoo stuff won't apply so if that's your case you'd better recur to this 1.6 dosbox application.

thanks then. I'll give it a shot

Edit: Works perfectly, but I don't know how to change the resolution of the dos box. It comes in 680x480 and I want to play it on 1280x720. Any help?

I fixed it. The game works amazingly!

How do I change the screen resolution?

as I recently wrote in another thread,
you can change dosbox resolution, but unfortunately it won't enhance TRI resolution within it
the fullresolution parameter in dosbox config files will only affect such parts of game like the FMV's and dosbox appearance in general of course
but when the glide patch takes over and TRI gameplay effectively starts, then it will fall back to standard resolution and there's no fixing it for now
(actually as recently shown elsewhere there's an ongoing development about this which hopefully is going to implement this customization in future dosbox/glide releases)

on 32bit sytems you can resort to dgVoodoo (vs. Dosbox) by using the other installer I made based on dgVoodoo
here at
http://www.tombraiderhub.com/faq/tr1_adv.html
that's the Tomb Raider 1 and Unfinished Business for Windows Vista/7 32 bit setup utility
dgVoodoo can handle the game resolution, but that software won't work on 64bit versions of windows.

If you use the glide enabled version of DOSBOX which works with the glide enabled version of TOMB.EXE and TOMBUB.EXE, you can play the game at whichever resolution you want. I've played Unfinished Business at 1440x900 .

Where on earth do the music files get saved to? They aren't on the PC CD so they must be generated by the installer somehow.

they sure are not
as explained in this thread
(info mostly shared in posts #7, 9 and 10)
the psx cd has them, so I burned a mixed-mode cd, made an image out of it and let the installer take care of them as it installs the whole package.

Any chances that you include the glide-enabled DosBOX and the glide-enabled EXEs as an option in your package? That way people will be able to run the game in full resolution and with no slowdowns in weaker PCs.
