Install VirtualPC or VirtualBox (both are faster than VMWare, and VMWare is also payware). VirtualPC requires Windows Pro or higher, does not work on Home versions, but has support for both music and sound, VirtualBox can be installed anywhere and is freeware, but it does not support music (sound is fine though).

Create new Virtual Machine in any of the above, then install FreeDOS - just mount an install CD either through program's internal mounting or on your host machine then allowing virtual (guest) machine to use your real drive in the options, then boot your VM from it and follow the instructions. It is much easier than installing Windows, as there are not many options. You can easily google a detailed installation process which is about 5 or 6 steps total. You can also get pre-installed HDD images for both I think.

Then mount Blood CD image and install it from there, run setup from whatever dir you installed it, and select SoundBlaster as your sound device. Select Music as None if you are using VirtualBOX, otherwise it will crash due to lack of MPU-401.

To get Cryptic Passage working you will need a fixed Cryptic.exe, which can be downloaded here: http://files.deathmask.net/patched/
