I just tried the INSTALL.EXE from the floppy disk, and it behaves as if the game is already installed. So your not given the install option. I ran it with the -debug
option and ran the installer, here is the output:

Hi, I tried to install the software after booting real dos, and seems to work.
I changed the current drive to a:
and simply executed install.com
.

Windows 10 Pro 21H2 64 bit
What version(s) of DOSBox-X have this bug?
0.83.20 SDL2 64 bit VSbuild
Describe the bug
The game Nova 9: The Return of Gir Draxon fails the installation because it cannot detect the hard disk if I launch INSTALL.COM from the floppy disk images (https://archive.org/details/002193-Nova9). In DOSBox 0.74-3 the issue is the same.
If I extract all the files from the six floppy disk images into one folder and mount it as drive A, the installation is successful but in the logging console there are several INT 21h related errors.
The game is the sequel of Stellar 7, maybe the problem is related to bug #3175.
Expected behavior
The INSTALL.COM program should detect the emulated hard disk.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Used configuration
Emulator log
