Hey all,

When trying to import an sdo file into a freshly installed MCMS (SP2, latest
security hotfix applied) 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, fiddling with
options and settings, to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Thanks,

Menno

Hi Menno,

If you rename your sdo to .zip, can you then open it with something
like winzip?  If not, it is corrupt.
What size is the sdo?

Dear Chandy,

I was able to open the sdo file after renaming it to .cab. Winzip didn't
seem to like it much as a .zip file. I'm assuming that being able to open it
means it's not corrupt though. The size of the .sdo is 23 Mb, but I also
tried importing an .sdo with just the templates, and that was only 20 Kb:
cache space should not be part of the problem.

Thanks for your reply,

Menno

Hi Menno,

The only other instance I have seen of the problem caused the person
to have to contact Microsoft Support.  I suggest that you do the same.
