According to Google, back on 2004-02-19, Erik made the following posting to
this newsgroup and did not receive a reply:
" I have MS Office Professional 2003 and have been trying to
exercise the XML features of the new product. In
particular I have been trying to add an XML schema to my
schema library but it always throws up a message box
saying that it couldn't install the XML expansion pack or
schema file could not be installed. The file I am trying
to add is directly from a Microsoft article on using the
new XML features, and is a small file with nothing complex
about it. The article in which the file is defined
explains how to go about adding it and the steps seems
straight forward. Did I miss something in the install?
Is this a reason to reinstall? Do I need a different
version of Office? Thanks to anyone who is listening."
I have just been wrestling with the same error message, and have found one
of its causes. The message will appear if:
* the XML version information tag at the beginning of the XSD file specifies
encoding="UTF-8", but the file was in fact saved as a Unicode file
* the XML version information tag specifies encoding="UTF-16", but the file
was saved as an ANSI file
You can check how the file was saved by opening it in NotePad, then
"File>Save As" to read the file type information in the dialog box.
