Save the file as unicode.

If the problem still exists, then I'll have a look at it.

The zip file on the server has a non-unicode XML in it, and if you've edited this file directly, it won't work.

You can't specify multiple programs per command. Split them up.

You will also have to look at the nowait="true" attribute for one of them - XPlode waits for a program to completely finish by default.

If you add the nowait attribute, it will execute the program, then go onto the next one.
