Problem with IE8 accelerator

I am trying to make an accelerator to pull up patent documents when the selection is a US patent number. All attempts at installation result in "There was a problem with the Accelerator's information." I am doing my best to follow examples and research possible pitfalls, without success. The xml won't even display in my browser. My installation file is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Patent Number Accelerator Install</title> </head> <body> <p> <button id="PatentButton" onclick="window.external.AddService('http://homepages.sover.net/~tiplady/PNL.xml')"> Install Patent Number Accelerator </button> </p> </body> </html>

Any guidance will be appreciated.

My guess: It's simple. You have an unclosed literal in your xml file.

Check the quotation mark after ...PN/{selection} and you might notice (depending on your font) that the quotation mark is a ” (Right Double Quotation Mark) with Unicode-codeposition U+201D) while what should be there is a " (Quotation Mark with Codeposition U+0022).

This means upon parsing you have an cunlosed string and the xml-file is invalid.
