need help with XML problem

I am making my own mod......building on the Helios beta 4 mod, and FLMM keeps giving me the error "unable to find script tag in script". I have compared my script with the Helios script (which works) and can find nothing missing. HELP!

The script tag it is referring to is probably the all the way at the top of the file, like this:

<script>
<header name="Mod title">
<scriptversion>
1.2
</scriptversion>

and then all the way at the bottom you need:

</script>

that's what I thought....and I checked and they are in the correct places. I'm lost as to what else could be the problem.

Check for missing ">" somewhere or a tag that isn't closed out properly is all I can guess, I'm no XML expert either

I found the problem....when using wordpad to edit XML.....do NOT save using unicode....it screws up invisable control characters.....everything looks fine, but it doesn't work properly. Use normal text mode to save.
