NOT A VALID MS DOS PROGRAM

You might have some problem in the bat file.
Right-Click the file and select "Edit".
Then copy-paste the contents to your OE and send it here, please.

Perhaps if you post the contents of the bat file, someone will be able to help
more.
Perhaps that .bat file needs to be run in DOS.

Probably it means exactly what it says.

There is another copy of COMMAND.COM in your root directory, and it's good,
else Windows would not come up. The two should be identical. If they're
different, copy the one from your root directory (which we know is good) into
your WINDOWS directory, replacing the bad one.
