I downloaded The Patchwork Mod II shortly after beating the first one, (excellent mod, by the way) only to be met by great disappointment because I can't get the darned thing to run!
This is easy, right? After pressing a key...
...I'm immediately booted to the end screen.
What happened? I extracted everything with the setup file, mounted the directory through DOSBox and ran 2Patch.bat.
Do I need the original Commander Keen 2 files to run this mod? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Well yeah, you need to put a Keen2.exe (version 1.31) in the directory if there is none. And you should unlzexe it for some patches require the exe to be unpacked.
This procedure is usually true for all Keen 2 & 3 mods as those aren't shareware, and modders try to stay on the save side legally, so they don't provide the exe. You can get those from the keen collective on bipship btw.
