Hi joesys,
First of all, thanks for the bug report. I'm sorry that you have problems with the installer. If anybody else has WinXP and has the same problems, please tell me.
Meanwhile I have altered the install program somewhat so that the manual mode does not require Xcopy. This should solve the problem you have.
If you don't want to download it again, just rename all your xcopy.exe to something else for a minute and run the install program while xcopy is renamed. The install program should switch into an emergency mode and install all files to C:\Space Empires IV.
After this don't forget to rename your xcopy!

To all:
We don't offer the winzip files any more because it took me literally hours to upload all the files to the server only to upload fixed files again a few hours later. Unfortunately all the TDM-Memembers have a RL and just not enough time at hour hands. Further we often had your mailbox full of questions how to install the TDM-ModPack winzip by people that just could not afford it (time and money wise) to download the exe file again. We realize that the install program is not that great for people who know their PC in and out but it is a great help for the beginners and when we have fixed all bugs and problems with the installer it will be more easier for all of us.
