Yes, that is the page I first looked at. I also tried the first one there and it says "Invalid SPL file". From the XML, this is base64. However, in order to obtain the spl file on disk, I need to save it. I decode the base64 using the default encoding such as:

cString = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(cEncoded))

...to obtain the string. And, then, to save the string to a file:

                ' Try to open the file
                Using loFileStream As System.IO.FileStream = New FileStream(lcFile, FileMode.Create)
                    loStreamWriter = New StreamWriter(loFileStream, cEncoding)
                    loStreamWriter.Write(cString)
                    loStreamWriter.Close()
                    llSuccess = True
                    Exit For
                End Using

But, no matter what I try, this is always an invalid file. I have tried saving the string as Default, UTF8, UTF7, UTF32, Unicode, ASCII and BigEndianUnicode.

Thanks

Could you explain more on this?
