Post the complete output to the command "dir".

Use the syntax below:  

software install file flash-1:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.03.SPA.bin verbose new force on-reboot

No need to specify the "destination".  The process will automatically detect how many switches there are in a stack and unpack the firmware appropriately.
