To debug zone.exe errors, what you need to do (in XP), is click on start/run then enter cmd in the dialog box that comes up. This will start a command prompt.

Type CD <path to where your zone.exe is>

then type, e.g.

zone . a.b.c.d 7995 w.x.y.z

I.e. take the first 'start zone ...' line in your boot5zones.bat, omit the 'start' command and type in the zone command and its parameters (i.e. putting your IP address(es) in place of a.b.c.d and w.x.y.z. This way zone.exe will show what errors it found and the window should not close.
