I've just recently run into this problem. When I create a new BT pipeline in
VS I get the following error:
------------
The error occurred while loading the document. FIx the error, and then try
loading the document again. The error message follows:

Pipeline file '[pipeline filename]' could not be loaded. There is an err
or
in the XML document.
-------------

This happens even if I create a new blank pipeline. This only seems to be
happening with one of my BizTalk solutions, in another the pipelines load
just fine. Obviously, this makes me think it's specific to the solution, but
I don't know what's causing it.

Thanks,
Jeff

Sounds like for some unknown reason your pipeline xml file might be saved in
an incorrect encoding. You might want to try opening it in VS with the "Open
With" option and opening it with the "XML With encoding" designer, and then
using the File -> Advanced Save Options menu entry to change the encoding of
the file before saving it again.
