Default Re: Silver Blades

The OldDosBox is up and running. Now the demo is shown at a normal speed. But still the program refuses to accept the file “install.bat”, I keep hitting the first error condition below:
“echo Please change to the directory that contains the
echo Secret of the Silver Blades Program and re-run install.
echo Note: type "install" in all lower-case letters.”

I delete the relevant five lines and replace them with “goto fine”, then I get:
'xcopy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Looking at the file, it might be expecting two floppy disks not one. For reference this the text of the batch file:

echo off
cls
echo %0
pause
if "%0.bat" == "install.bat" goto fine
echo Please change to the directory that contains the
echo Secret of the Silver Blades Program and re-run install.
echo Note: type "install" in all lower-case letters.
goto exit

:fine
if "%1" == "" goto nodrive
if "%2" == "" goto nodrive
echo Installing as %1:\%2
md %1:\%2
xcopy install.bat %1:\%2 /s
if not exist %1:\%2\install.bat goto died
copy *.* %1:\%2 >nul
if exist dungcom.dax goto cdone

:nodrive
echo Usage: install X Y
echo where X=letter of your hard disk.
echo where Y=name of the directory
echo Example: install c SECRET
goto exit

:died
echo There was an error creating %1:\%2
echo Secret of the Silver Blades was not installed.
goto exit

:wrongo
echo Install must be run from the Secret of the Silver Blades Cd only.
goto exit

:cdone
cd %1:\%2
%1:
cls
echo Secret of the Silver Blades is now installed.
echo Run START.EXE to start playing
:exit
