Due to a limitation in WSH there is an issue when commands print more than ~4k 
on the console. So if you sue xcopy within a command, then make sure to redirect 
its output to a file, NUL or even better, use the /Q switch to prevent huge 
screen output. You won't be able to see the output during WPKG execution anyway. 
So if you need to have a look at xcopy output, then redirect it to a file.
