I don't know that you actually need to know that. I think you could
probably just mount the disk, cd to it, and install or run it from the
command line.

You might also try dosbox if the game is DOS compatible. 

In the mid-nineties at lot of games were either pure DOS applications
or had separate windows/dos binaries on the disk, 1998 is a bit late
for this though.
