Want to make a installer for a game i play:

@echo off

echo Choose One
echo __________
echo.
echo 32        
echo.           
echo 64        
echo.           
echo Idk       
echo.           
echo __________
echo.
echo.
set/p bit=
goto %bit%

:32
xcopy "warcraft3" C:\Program Files
pause
goto done

:64
xcopy "warcraft3" C:\Program Files(x86)
pause
goto done

:idk
xcopy "warcraft3" C:\Program Files
pause
goto done

:done

the "warcraft3" is a folder not a zip or anything, it says it cant find the specified file.

Need quotes around folders with spaces

xcopy "warcraft3" "C:\Program Files\"

also good practice to put a trailing slash on destination folders.

In the 'data' folder there is a folder called warcraft3. it will not copy that folder to the programfiles, but if i make a text document in the data folder it copies that but not the folder. i need it to copy the folder

Use "warcraft\*.*" and if you want to copy subdirectories then add /s/h/e/k/f/c to the end
