Can't Validate ChronoForms

Every time I click the "Validate Installation" I get an error on the next page with none of the typical Joomla 1.5 administration icons. In fact none of the Joomla admin css loads...I just get this...see attached image.

So I can't "save" the information....

This is my error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.net/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/chronoforms.xml on line 1

Hi Riceman,

This is most likely a damaged file. Which release of ChronoForms v4 are you using?

The first few lines of the file look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="utf-8" ?>
<install type="component" version="1.5.0" method="upgrade">
	<name>Chrono Forms</name>
. . .

Hi Greyhead,

Here are the first few lines of the xml:

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="utf-8" ?>
<install type="component" version="1.5.0" method="upgrade">
	<name>Chrono Forms</name>
	<creationDate>30 May 2011</creationDate>

and the version I downloaded is: Chronoforms_J1.5_V4_RC1.9

Hi Riceman,

Please contact me through the "Contact Us" page to get a patch for RC1.9 because it has a problem on the validation page.

Regards,
Max

will do, thanks
