I have used
   ozmake --install -p somepackage.pkg "--prefix=C:\Program Files\Mozart"
many times, successfully. Using the 8.3 filenames, C:\Progra~1\Mozart, 
would work too:
   for %i in ("C:\Program Files\Mozart") do ozmake --install -p 
somepackage.pkg --prefix=%~si
(use double % in batch files.)
