I assume you're trying to import using the Import-StartLayout cmdlet?
It only supports .BIN files, not .XML.

The XML format only exists for you to inspect, it's not for you to use when importing.
The process is:
1. Make changes
2. Export as XML (-As Xml), and check everything looks right
3. Export as BIN (-As Bin)
4. Import
Bit weird if you ask me, but there you go.

Can you explain exactly what you did? I see several references to Microsoft schema in the file already.
It would make this question useful for anyone else who runs into the same problem.

Adding microsoft svhema to xml did the trick
What code did you use to create the .XML?
