i tried to install some software but during installation error occurs which says "xcopy not recognized as internal or external command".
i tried something with environment variables but didnt work properly.
how can i fix it??
i use a windows 8 pc

Could you give more details like which software did you use and try to give relevant screenshots.

Well looks like the software can't access xcopy. Try going into command prompt and run xcopy, it'd say something like invalid parameters and all.

I guess you need to add %SystemRoot%/system32 in path variable.
