I downloaded this game from TheUnderdogs website (140mb), and now I try to run it, but i get some errors.

When I run Holmes2.exe it says to first run Install

Then I run install, and it says it can't find install.bmp , but it is there!

Then I runned as a last hope holmes.bat file, and the game started. I was releaved and thought the adventure began, untill the intro was over, and an error came wich said "There was an error trying to open file Speech60.LIB"

grr... can somebody help me, or better said... is there anyone that can help me? I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes books and games!

I really have no idea about the game you're trying to run, and have a bit too slow connection to look into it myself, but I remember some stuff I needed to do to run some ripped games:

Try looking for a .cfg file and open it with notepad. Sometimes there are paths in it like:
C:\GAMEDIR\
F:\GAMEDIR\INSTALL
or something. So, if you see something like that, and your gamedir, for example, is:
D:\GAMES\GAMEDIR\
Change the path in .cfg file to the path at your hard disk. Don't forget to check out if the files are write protected so you can edit them.

Also, it doesn't have to be .cfg, look for .ini or try right clicking the .bat file and choose edit to see what's in there.

If the game was ripped or cracked, there should be a .nfo file with information on how to install and run the game.

And don't forget to make backups.

Oh.
Didn't you notice additional notes from game page?

QuoteCD-rip version (including everything except speech); must be installed in C:\HOLMES and properties of file HOLMES2.SAV changed - by right-clicking in Windows to see properties of file and unclick "read only" attribute.
