Hello, I've setup my own 2x application publishing site using the sample provided on this forum on an ealier post. On my developement server everthing works great but after publishing the site the .2xa file generated from my production site is incorrectly formatted. Specifically, it starts with a ? instead of <?. Because of this .2xa files downloaded from the productionn site generate a "No published item specified" message. Removing the ? from .2xa file solved the problem but I don't understand how/why it's getting added. Here are samples of the beggining of the a correctly formated .2xa genereated from my developement box and the second is the incorrectly formatted .2xa from my production box. Hopefully someone can help shed some light as to why this is happening only on the production server. Good 2xa <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><App xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"> Bad 2xa ?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><App xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
