I confirm it works fine on Windows98SE with the latest release (0.84.0).
The error the image must be on a host, local, or network drive. Must specify image file(s) to mount is that DOSBox-X can't find the image file you specified.
Make sure there are no typos, or try imgmount d Win98.iso -t cdrom -ide 2m if mounting hdd.img was successful, and the iso file is placed under the same directory.

Question
I have to manually load my config file using the Restart DOSBox-X with config file command every time I load my config file and it's getting on my last nerve! I tried using the command line "dosbox-x -conf win98.conf" stated in the guide "Installing Microsoft Windows 98 in DOSBox-X" at https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/Guide%3AInstalling-Windows-98, but DOSBox X boots without even loading my config file Win98.conf. So I managed to manually load it, but then I get the error "the image must be on a host, local, or network drive. Must specify image file(s) to mount." I can mount the same iso fine using the command "Mount a disk or CD image file" under the Drive<D menu, but the problem is when Windows 98 tries to finish installing it's drivers it says the Windows 98 Second Edition CDROM is missing. I'm not sure how to fix it. My config file reads: "[sdl] autolock=true
[dosbox] title=Windows 98 memsize=128
[video] vmemsize=8 vesa modelist width limit=0 vesa modelist height limit=0
[dos] ver=7.1 hard drive data rate limit=0 floppy drive data rate limit=0
[cpu] cputype=pentium_mmx core=normal
[sblaster] sbtype=sb16vibra
[fdc, primary] int13fakev86io=true
[ide, primary] int13fakeio=true int13fakev86io=true
[ide, secondary] int13fakeio=true int13fakev86io=true cd-rom insertion delay=4000
[render] scaler=none
[autoexec] IMGMOUNT C hdd.img IMGMOUNT D D:\DOSBox-X\Win98.iso -t iso -ide 2m" I will add "BOOT C:" back in once I get my Win98.iso to successfully load. I am using Windows 11 and I realize this might be the issue. 11 might have unforeseen bugs with DOSBox-X. I just wanted to confirm that none of the commands I typed to load the iso work. I even tried changing -t to cdrom. It still wouldn't work. Same error as before. I have made sure both my hdd.img and the Win98.iso are inside the same directory as my DOSBox-X is so it doesn't have to search for the files, so I shouldn't need to specify the directory yet DOSBox-X still fails to see it when I use the typed commands or use the config file.
