BiG World Installation issue

When it shut off, it turned on the installation.bat and that worked fine...
UNTIL the final screen right before it starts installing! Immediately after that screen, these messages pop up:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
And it automatically shuts off.
However, I've done everything right, its in my BGII - SoA folder, which is outside of program files. What could cause this?

That's everything. So, what's wrong with it?

Try not to get irritated and post the last few lines before it crashes...
You may want to remove lines 121 (after the last set-key) to 1920 (:BWSStart) to speed up the process.

Remove the @echo off from the top of the batch, then try again.

Here's what it said just before it shut off, I managed to print-screen it:

There were a lot more lines like that prior to this.
(This is after deleting the echo off and the lines you asked me to delete)
EDIT: I looked at the directory that it said doesn't exist in the picture (The BW_Herbs/BW_Herbs2 "_optional" folders), and they don't! The BW_Herbs folders are there, but they only contain _copy/_depends folders. I don't understand why, the setup worked completely fine.
EDIT2: Since the missing files seemed to be from the Fixpack, I downloaded a fresh BiG World Fixpack 9.3, and replaced the old fixpack folder with this new one, and tried running the installation again. It still crashed, but the error was different! (NOTE: I HAVE FULL PERMISSION ON ALL MY FILES, SO THIS HAS 'ACCESS DENIED' CAN'T BE FROM THAT)

Strangely enough, after this error, on a second try, the errors went back to how they were originally (with file/folder not found), and the _optional folders in the BW_Herbs_BG folders became _copy folders! What is going on???

I'm having the exact same issue. If I posted a screen capture it would look like the last one posted here. It is also the issue listed here: http://www.shsforums...ection-failure/
I've tried the solutions listed on both these topics. Still no luck. Tried reinstalling everything, no luck.
Basically everything goes smooth, then as the .bat file gets to the 'this will take hours, please press key' or whatever it comes up with:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
and big world install.bat closes.
Very confusing! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
