I dont have the source of the application. now I wanna make sure that my
problem is "1) could not find the document" and is not other two choices
: 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document
is not <xsd:schema>. I have attached the xsd file. another point is that
the file is in linux format and i'm reading it in windows. i have also
converted it into windows format and i got the same error.

any help is appreciated.
