Create Workflow template using WebPartPagesWebService

Question

Hello,
I'm using SharePoint web service "WebPartPagesWebService", I used the method ValidateWorkflowMarkupAndCreateSupportObjects() to create a workflow template.
below is my method:
string DefinitionFile = @"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\WorkflowFolder\testwf.xoml";
string RulesFile = string.Empty;// @"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\WorkflowFolder\Workflow.xoml.rules";
string ConfigFile = @"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\WorkflowFolder\testwf.xoml.wfconfig.xml";
string flag = "2";
WebPartPagesWebServiceSoapClient client = new WebPartPagesWebServiceSoapClient();
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation;
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowNtlm = true;
string str = client.ValidateWorkflowMarkupAndCreateSupportObjects(DefinitionFile, RulesFile, ConfigFile, flag);
I get a error in the result: "Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."
Is there any idea how ca i fix it? 
Many thanks

Hi Jinming ,
If you are creating a template to allocate overhead cost to the final product , you have to use either enviornment 009 ( Process Orders ) and enviornment 0012 ( Production Orders ).
For planning , use enviornment 001 ( Cost Estimate/production Orders ).
I dont think enviornment 104 is correct . I dont see the enviornment in my list ECC 5.0
Enviorment 009 and 012 are tried and tested . Use them as per your requirement .
Please revert back for any further clarifications .
