Impossible to import constraints file with 17.4

Hi all,

I try to export-import design constraints file.

Export goes well.

When I try to import I get:

Error: schemaLocation does not contain namespace-location pairs (l:2; c:92)
             Section read operation aborted

What's wrong?

    I went thru this process a couple of days ago with a couple of designs without any issues, however I'm running a slightly older release 17.4 S008 

    The export:

    Thank you David. I finally nailed it. The problem was that my installation folder contained a space symbol. This thread helped to investigate it. I don't know if it is Cadence or Microsoft related problem but now it is solved.
