Description:
The install_repo.bat script tries to create directories in lines like the following:

if not exist %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars mkdir %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars

That is attempting to create the dom4j and jars directories in one fell swoop. But that does not work under Windoze 98 (DOS really). You can only create a single directory at a time.

Invoking mkdir /? under Windoze 2000 it looks like it is not guaranteed on NT based Windoze either. It says that it is only enabled if "command extensions" are enabled (whatever that means).

Here is the output of mkdir /?

Creates a directory.

MKDIR [drive:]path
MD [drive:]path

If Command Extensions are enabled MKDIR changes as follows:

MKDIR creates any intermediate directories in the path, if needed.
For example, assume \a does not exist then:

    mkdir \a\b\c\d

is the same as:

    mkdir \a
    chdir \a
    mkdir b
    chdir b
    mkdir c
    chdir c
    mkdir d

which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.
