I can provide some hints, but I don't have the details to give the exact solution.
It sounds like homm is looking for the cd drive "in dos" - makes sense. This means you'll probably have to tell dosbox to emulate a cd.
(Different games check for the cd different ways - look for a file, look for a cd title, or do something fancy. I don't know what homm does, so I don't know exactly what will work.)
the first thing to try is mounting the same directory as drive d and as a cdrom:
mount d c:\heros -t cdrom
That might fix it, or it might just be the first step.
Here's another thread with some details, but not sure if they reached success
You can also google homm dosbox install guide, it looks like there are several sets of instructions. They don't look too tricky, so the above "mount" command might work the first time.

First of all:
Read and apply: http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13511
Now, is it needed to install the game? You told you downloaded the game, isn't it cracked and ready to run?
Ask where you downloaded the game, we have no idea what you have....
If you can't get the game to run or install, search for a CD image and mount that as D: in dosbox, run install from D: on C:
If you can't find a full CD image (no rip !!! most rips are borked) the game is on GOG:

What's more: GOG's game comes pre installed with dosbox and ready to run in Windows (all vers).

HOMM shouldn't need a freesize param, dosbox reports by default 250MB free space.
My guess is a wrong C mount/wrong install command.
But as topzombie22 seems not to be able to provide relevant info I don't know where he goes wrong.
Relevant info would be:
Size/name of downloaded game
Dosbox version.
Detailed dosbox mounts.
Detailed inputs/commands.
A screen of the error.
Also:
Nothing to click in HOMM install screen .....
Also²: once again

If you can't get your downloaded and pirated (cracked ???) game to run why don't you ask where you downloaded it from?dosraider wrote:If you can't find a full CD image (no rip !!! most rips are borked) the game is on GOG:

No worries about the writing! Just trying to get you to some successful conclusion. When you have time for more info, that might help us help you. Until then, cheers, mate!
And, you are running the install from INSIDE dosbox, yes? That error might be explained if you are running it directly from windows.
