so what windows are you running ?
There should be no problem with the copy command, since it says \"0 Files copied\" (that shoud be an error message of copy)

It seems, that the files aren\'t in the directory. On some Windows/IE versions (maybe on all) a .doc file extension is added to all files you download (and that are not recognized by their ending).

So first make sure that all files are downloaded completely and in the same directory/folder. The .bat file has to be in the same folder as the other files.

Look if all files have the correct names (not an .doc ending or something)

nope, drive and folder shouldn\'t make a difference.
Try to chek the filenames, eventually rename the files (right click -> rename ...).

Ok i re downloaded them again into my c:\\ still get the same thing when i run the .bat file

\"d:\\New Game>copy /b PSV0.2.010.Part1 + PSV0.2.010.Part2 + PSV0.2.010.Part3 + PSV0.2.010.Part4 + PSV0.2.010.Part5 Planeshifv0.2.010.exe
0 File(s) copied\"

this is the files i have in the folder
PSV0.2.010.Part1..Part1
PSV0.2.010.Part2..Part2
PSV0.2.010.Part3..Part3
PSV0.2.010.Part4..Part4
PSV0.2.010.Part5..Part5
run_me_first.bat


there right arent they? only thing i can think of is the double \".\" between the \"partx..partx\"   ......

rename the files!

they have to look like in your first post (remove the .Part1, .Part2 ...) at the end so they become
PSV0.2.010.Part1
PSV0.2.010.Part2
...

:D
or you have to type manually copy /b PSV0.2.010.Part1..Part1 + PSV0.2.010.Part2..Part2 + ... and so on ...;)
