You copied the save sets CC064.A and CC064.B of the product CC version
064 aka 6.4. VMSINSTAL expects the product name with or without the
version, which is CC064 or CC - not a save set file name.

But I can only guess, as you didn't really show what you typed and what
was printed on the screen: a '@sys$update:vmsinstall' will give an
%DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSUPD]VMSINSTALL.COM; as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
So how can I know what you entered as the product name?

Shutdown works as expected, only the symbol 'shutdown' was deleted, the
symbol which - guessing again - you used to run sys$system:shutdown.com.
After running VMSINSTAL there is no longer such a symbol because
VMSINSTAL deletes all global symbols not defined by VMS or VMSINSTAL.
Log out after running VMSINSTAL and log in again, then you have all
these symbols defined, again, including the 'shutdown' one.
