EMM386 not installed - protected mode software already running.
What does this mean? What protected mode software is already running?
None. The environment of DOSEMU provides a DPMI w/o having to
load a driver, so it has the same effect as though a driver
were loaded, however.

OK, trying to wrap my head around this though the 20-year fog. EMS,
XMS, UMB, DPMI. Yecch.
I've tried commenting out the
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE frame=none x=C000-C7FF x=E000-E7FF
line. This gives me the "No UMBs" error on the first devicehigh= call
As can be seen from my earlier posts, this application, as designed,
made use of HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE, etc. This does not appear to be
compatible with DOSEMU as configured out of the box.
Looking for opinions here. Would you think I am best off trying start
from Freedos and tweak memory as needed or from MS-DOS? If I use MS-DOS
under DOSEMU what is the solution to add UMBs? Or, am I best advised to
avoid all this UMB and devicehigh stuff and just try to load them
"normally"?
Here is the config.sys I am trying to load:
BREAK=OFF
FILES=30
BUFFERS=30
STACKS=9,256
DOS=HIGH,UMB
LASTDRIVE=V
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE frame=none x=C000-C7FF x=E000-E7FF
