That line is running it. 
(don't need to have the .exe part to run the program.)

At this point, maybe you should post the contents of the config.sys and
autoexec.bat so we can see where everything is and if something crucial
is missing.

When Arena detects the card, does it use the info from the SET BLASTER
line?
You mentioned Daggerfall - what settings does it detect for the sound
card - since they seem to work?
