Is there an "ArenaSetup" download like there is for

That is, something that automatically sets up a DOSBox install. I noticed that Arena is free on the Elder Scrolls website, so I thought someone might have taken the time to package it like the DaggerfallSetup install.

Or should I just set up a DOSBox install myself?

Not for the free floppy version of Arena, no.

If you don't want to mess around with DOSBox you could buy The Elder Scrolls Anthology, which include all 5 main TES games and both Arena and Daggerfall comes with modern installers.

Oh, no worries. I know how to mess around with DOSBox.

Just don't see the need to re-invent the wheel here, if it was already invented.

[removed] I′d still recommend getting the Anthology though. If nothing else you get screenies, pictures plus a physical copy of the game which is always nice :smile:

I agree. The Anthology is the way to go if you can afford it. The Dosbox included in Anthology was created specifically for that release. It will almost certainly be the best, most optimized version available.

Which exists in a position of questionable legality because it uses the CD version of Arena that wasn't released for free.
