Why does the commands in the autoexec section of the dosboxblood.conf use this command to launch blood?

@ECHO OFF
mount C "."
imgmount D game.inst -t iso
c:
cls
blood.exe
exit

Why does it use that instead of using something as simple as:

mount c c:\blood
c:
blood.exe
exit

? This is so wierd and also if you look at the properties of the shortcut on the desktop you can see that it has an extra "exit" command. Also, it puts quotes on the end of the dosbox path and the one unit whole blood path.
Any reasons for this?

I don't know terribly much about this, but the reason it doesn't do the standard mounting is because it's not just launching the .exe, it's mounting an .iso of the disc so you can get the better music (and cutscenes?).

pretty simple. Your mount c c:\blood only works if you have it installed in c:\blood
secondly your version doesn't have CDROM audio because you don't mount a cdrom

I know that. I was just using my c:\blood folder as an example. But what's with the imgmount thing? There is no iso when you install the GoG version of games. I've noticed the mounting is the same with all the other GoG DOSBox games.

Imgmount mounts the CD image. Open game.inst with the Notepad, it's a .cue sheet describing a CD image with a data track "game.gog" and ogg music. Open game.gog with ISO Buster. It's a bin CD data track with the movies. Just because something isn't labeled with an explicit image format doesn't mean it isn't.

Ok guys, please disregard my second post saying that the mounting is the same as the other GoG DOSBox games. That part was completely wrong. I have one more question. In the mount line what does mount C "." do? Thanks for the info anyways.
