First, you need to install Daemon Tools. Then you mount the ISO 
of the game with right-clicking on the Daemon Tools-icon in the 
task-bar near the clock below.

Choose "Virtual CD/DVD-ROM" and click on "Mount image". Select 
the ISO-file, then there should appear the view of the folder 
of the ISO. You'll see the letter of the drive mounted for that 
ISO (usually H:\). Notice it. DON'T close this window while you 
want to play the game!

Now start DosBox and type EXACTLY the following:

mount -t cdrom h h:/
mount c c:/
h:
setup

(now select the soundcard for the sound / music, after that 
you'll be asked if you want to copy parts of the game on 
the harddrive, click on yes and install full into the specified 
folder. Notice the folder's name)

c:
cd *folder-name of the installed game*
ecstatica

One word of advise: don't rename the ISO-file of the game while 
you are playing it, or the installed game on the harddrive won't 
recognice the ISO as the "CD-Drive" anymore and you'll have to 
install the game again then.

That's it, have fun playing the game!
