Hey all,

When trying to import an sdo file into a freshly installed MCMS (SP2) I get
the following error (copied from event viewer):

MCMS Site Deployment - Error occured. System.TypeInitializationException:
The type initializer for "System.Xml.Serialization.Compiler" threw an
exception. ---> System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.

I've tried obvious things like moving the file to the root and renaming it
to A.sdo, trying to import a file with just 1 template to no avail. Can
anyone tell me what's going on?

Thanks,

Menno
