The custom tool 'MSDataSetGenerator' failed while processing the f

I get this message when trying to create a schema from an xml file. I am
looking to see if the xml file is malformed, but just in case it isn't, has
anyone come across this problem before?

Yeah it's quite stupid actually. There is a second error message that
tells exactly what is wrong, but visual studio doesn't show it.

To get the message you're looking for you need to open a VS command line
and go to the directory containing the actual .xsd file. Now run xds.exe
and pass the name of your xsd as parameter. You should get a more
precise error message.

In the custom tool for the xsd or xml remove the custom tool (cut and paste routine) (in the properties window) and paste the tool name back into the custom tool text space.
I have been coding a project for 4 weeks and today out of the blue my project gave me the same error and after looking on the internet to no avail I happened on this fix accidentaly.
