you can use install, cp, or whatever. The error you are seeing is probably because the files have the executable bit set in their permissions. The files should be rw or just r not rwx or r-x. Since you use install you need to pass the -m option and do something like -m 644 (owner has read nad write, everyone else has read). install by default sets the mode to 755 (rwxr-xr-x).
