Robocopy is built into Win 7 & Vista but can be downloaded for XP: Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools

Update:  Adding /TEE will allow the log file to be created and produce the Verbose output.  Without the /TEE, the log file be created but you will not see the Verbose output in the black window.
