Both ways result in massive output to the console window when run 
interactively, so you need to redirect the output into a log file or to 
the NUL device.

Instead of:

>   <install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c robocopy ...'>

Use the following:

<!--code start (watch for line wraps)-->

<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c robocopy ... >NUL'>

<!--code end-->

This is true for XCOPY too.

There is a bug in WSH which crashes it if there is too much output to 
the console window.
