Need help for TES Anthology Arena and Daggerfall
Hello people. I need some help.
I just bought The Elder Scrolls Anthology and when i try installing TES arena or TES Daggerfal it doesnt work. Can you guys help me here?
I have windows 7 64 bit. The setup doesnt appear and when i go to my computer to start the setup manually the disc icon doesnt show up.
Thanks for the help.

They are DOS games and should have come with DOSBOX as the games from GOG do. I do not know if you can play DOS games on Steam. Someone with more knowledge that I will have to answer that. The first were free on the Bethasda website at one time that is where I got them and put them in DOSBOX myself.

there is a way to run it but all i remmember is if you do it the way i did the only way to stop playing the game was to restart your computer :/

This 2 games from TES Anthology already come with the DOSBOX but i can only install them in PCs that have an old version of windows( like Xp ), and it is pretty annoying because i have windows 7 64 bit :/

try to run them in xp emulation, right click the exe file and choose from list "property".. then take compabillity, and I think you will see win suggest what to use.

You have to run the "disc" (the installer) trough the DOSBOX, and later run the installed game trough it, no compability modes should be needed.
I have win 7 64 bit and have done this with some other games, just read the info that DOSBOX supplies you with (use the "help" command or "intro mount" to find out)

Hmm i will try that but why does the disc install in the windows Xp and now the windows 7 64 bit it is stupid in my opinion....

I think it is Win Vista/7 that is causing this rather than 32/64 bit architecture.
I would recommend you to run the DOSBOX on the Macbook Pro (like I do, lol) since it is the only machine to ever have music working on some old DOS games when on my Windows machines music is not working (could be connected to some hardware/software that I have no idea about)

I have elder Scrolls Antology myself and I admit I didn't played it for few years. But I got a hunch recently and installed those games from my discs.
When comes to those first two parts (Arena and Daggerfall) you just install it from the discs and it comes with preset DOSBox-0.74.
I used to have it on both Win 7 and Win 8 on my old laptops and now have it on my brand new gaming PC (Win 10) and I can confirm it works just fine without any issues or other settings. I just double-clicked the icon in the folder called Arena (Full Screen).bat (possibly windowed) and it loads up but I used full screen on my 23" monitor and it works.
I hope it helps those who would like to get it on new PCs at 2019
