Comment (by Slotherby):

 Thanks macca8.

 After a bit of experimentation I was able to get it running.  The setup
 required a bit more than Riven and what the wiki suggests.  You can't just
 copy the files from the CDs into a folder on the computer as then you
 can't apply the patch.

 What I had to do:
 1) Install Myst3 on my computer using the full option.
 2) Apply the patch (including the requirement to accept the replacing of
 the ENGLISH.m3t file)
 3) Create a entirely new folder on computer (eg C:\Myst3\ with the two
 subdirectories \Data & \M3Data
 4) Copy the *.m3a files from the separate install Disk directories to the
 new \Data directory
 5) Copy the contents of the install \M3Data directory into the new \M3Data
 directory
 6) You can then uninstall the program and patch from your computer
 7) Download a version of ScummVM from the daily builds as it needs to be
 greater than V2.2

 If you don't copy the files from the install directories to a new folder
 then you will get an 'unable to read file' error.  Not sure why!
