I downloaded the game from Abadonnia and unarchived it right away. Then I got HOLMES.BAT to work with VDMSound without a problem. However, the mouse was not working but the game was still playable because the "hand" on the screen could be moved with the keyboard.
I then tryied with DOSBox 0.63 and the game worked flawlessly, the mouse was working fine.
As a rule of thumb games from Abadonnia are already fully installed in their respective archive and are not meant to be reinstalled again. There is rare exceptions on this rule, but this game is not one of them.
