Sad to hear about the perms bug, but I am not asking for any permissions to be changed. The file is being updated with content from the template, and the log file says that content was updated:
https://gist.github.com/4400257#file-log-txt-L16The file that I am fixing already exists in the extracted zip with different content to what the template generates, and it does get updated. When the file is fixed, the permissions do change on it from what it was originally, doesn't bother me, but maybe that is causing the problem since you found a bug with perms?
You may look at notifying windows_batch from either windows_zipfile or

Thanks, I didn't know you can have multiple notifies, but I don't think that would work in my situation, the teamcity resource downloads build artefacts, when then get upzipped, the template generates CHEF.js which contains data that is needed in the execute. So each one of those resources does have a dependency on the one before.
