How do Install a DOS Program in Windows XP?

My aunt who plays cards on her PC has a game that is a DOS program which she was running through Windows XP. Her PC crashed and she had to reformat the HD so now the program has to be reinstalled. Can someone tell me how I would go about doing it? She has the program on a floppy disk, so what exactly do I do, do I type cmd to open a dos window? what do type in after that to install the program? Thanks in advance.
 
Does her computer have a floppy drive? My guess is to go into the command prompt, then access the floppy and run the setup file from there.

For instance:
cmd
*enter command window*
a: <enter> (I'm assuming this would be the floppy drive letter)
dir <enter> (look at what files are available/find out what the setup file is called)
setup <enter>
