Issues fixed

Game won't start

When run, the game may prompt you to run INSTALL, even though it's already installed.

Run HOLMES2.BAT[1]

Run HOLMES2.BAT (the one in the game folder) to start the game, not HOLMES2.EXE or HOLMES2.

Edit HOLMES2.BAT[2]

Replace the contents of HOLMES2.BAT (the one in the game folder) with the following:

@echo off
Set DOS4GVM=DELETESWAP MAXMEM#8192 SWAPNAME#.\MYTHOS.SWP
HOLMES2 .\MYTHOS.CFG %1 %2 %3
Use ScummVM[3]

Play the game in ScummVM, instead of DOS.
