Make sure all the XML files are saved as Unicode. I assume 7zip would create a proper zip archive. You can also try using the built in Zip Wizard in Windows.

Here is an example of a ScriptInfo.xml file

xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<ScriptInfo xmlns="urn:msgplus:scripts" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:msgplus:scripts PlusScripts.xsd">
    <Information>
        <Name>Screenshot Sender</Name>
        <Description>Allows you to easily send screenshots to your contacts.</Description>
        <Author>matty, Mattias &amp; Dempsey</Author>
        <AboutUrl>http://beta.screenshotsender.com</AboutUrl>
        <Version>5</Version>
        <UpdateId>SS5</UpdateId>
        <Build>0062</Build>
    </Information>
</ScriptInfo>

Also make sure that the files are in the root of the Zip archive not in a sub folder.

You can also post the PLSC here and we can have a look at it.

Also (although this shouldn't affect it being valid), if there isn't an about URL, you should just leave that tag out, as opposed to writing "no URL", which might still cause it to make a link in the import window...

I always 7zip to pack scripts, so that shouldn't be the problem...

PS: Remember to save your files as Unicode (little endian) text files, not as simple Ascii textfiles.
