A propos, there is a readme file in the holiday folder:

In order to run, Holiday Island must have a graphics driver
which supports a minimum of 256 colours. Check further details
in either your graphics card's manual or in the next section.
Holiday Island runs under Windows in all resolutions with at
least 640x480 pixels.
We recommend that the game is first started at 800x600
supporting 256 colours.

640x480 16 colors won't work.

Dosbox 0.74 is running on the default conf file, only added the automount for my w3 virtual drive and path settings under [autoexec]
(I don't use the same virtual C for Dosgames and W3)
To load the win3 conf I created a new dosbox shortcut, duplicated the dosbox conf to win.conf and pointed dosbox to the according Win3 conf file.
Something like this:
D:\Dosbox\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe -conf d:\dosbox\dosbox-0.74\win.conf

You will find the S3 drivers in the second post of that vogon topic (Dosfreak's post), I used 'S3 Trio/64 v1.41B5 (S3 Vision 64 or Vision864) ' from gulikoza, link works fine.

I have mostly tried through DOS and typing in \windows\setup.exe. i tried most of the modes like et4000 640x480 256 and 800x600 and also 1024x768. none of them is working. windows cant support. or at some point windows gets halted. i think my dosbox is not supporting the drivers. something's is faulting the drivers process......

NEVER change the screen setup whilst in W3, believe me, even on 'real hardware' it causes disasters, do it from the dosprompt, NEVER in W3, we had enough crashes in the ol'days.

Ah well, know what, I give up on you, if you even can't follow some simple instructions ... bye bye.

Of course you will need the S3 drivers from that vogon link.

That or 1024x768.... what you want.

As you seems to have a problem understanding some instructions let me repeat them once again:
Mount your virtual C
Get your prompt on C:
do a 'cd windows'
do 'setup'
choose the right screen mode
launch windows now
