Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Resize PC from 640x480 to 800x600. Then run installer When running the installer, it will detect no Adobe Flash. Click the autofix button. Rerun the installer. It is now black screen.

Adding some more information: When pressing the autofix on dosbox-X it seems to skip the installation of Flash? I didn't get this screen at all on dosbox-X: And here is what the installer is supposed to look like (on 86-Box running windows 98):

I can't confirm anything like that. The Deus Ex installer works perfectly fine in dosbox-x under win98se.

The last time I downloaded these dvd images of no interest to me and tried to verify your submissions. Maybe try a more reliable, more stable installation of Win98, so that you can first verify what you are trying to test yourself without the need to involve third parties.

edit: Regarding the dosbox-x configuration, it's best to use cputype pentium_mmx or pentium. If something doesn't work for you with pentium_iii, ppro_slow, then be sure to test it with these basic types of pentium processor, pentium_mmx, and then indicate it clearly in the report.
