No need to install it. Just start that copy of Windows. Main -> File Manager . Navigate to holiday.exe and run it from there.

i guess if it was that easy i would figure it out by now :/

it's giving me the MCI error, although i've applied the patch and filename.dat. is there anything else i should have done?

could anyone upload a working version and end everyone's sufferings with trying to make the game work? it's just less than 40mb.

thank you in advance

According to some of the earlier posts in this thread, disabling ingame sound and/ or speech seemer to work for them.

Hm this is very odd.
Try this: http://depositfiles.com/files/nx6690jm5
It's a copy of the game and of the Windows 3 setup I've successfully ran it in.

thank you

freshly installed win u gave me (cool desktop pic ), tried to play the game, same errors appeared.
tried fixing the filename.dat (removing spaces), didn't help.
tried with that .jar file the german guy provided, didn't help.
copied all file names from grafik folder to filename.dat (case sensitive), didn't help.
deleted folders with sounds... guess

but THEN i've deleted the folder with movies, and this is what happens

i've checked all the .dat files, i've found - none containing names of the movies.

so... hmm... don't know what to do next (but to give up...)

Okay, I've finally managed to reproduce your problem.
The package I've posted already contains a solution, as I will explain in a moment.




This appears when running Windows using Windows\win.exe . Am I correct that this is how you started both the copy you have installed yourself and the copy from my package ?

That merely starts the GUI, without loading the sound drivers. I've included a file named windows.bat , which you need to run to start Windows with the proper driver complement.

Seems you screw up big somewhere.
Downloaded Fifth's file, unzipped with 7zip on my dosbox virtual C: , ran dosbox, input windows, select 'main', select ' file manager', browse to holiday dir, double click on holiday.exe et voila, runs as a charm.

So yeah, maybe give your dosbox version, mount lines and inputs, and what you use to unzip the files, do you have the needed subdirs...???
With more info someone must be able to figure out where you go wrong.

Once again: Fifth's file is 100% working.

To be complete, this is the dir structure you need, yes, all of them:

Must all be in your dosbox virtual C folder root.
