Can I substitute an .xaml file within a solution zip file?

I have created a solution that includes a workflow. I have an old version of the .xaml file. I have changed the GUID in the .xaml file to reflect the new GUID that is referenced in the solutions.xml and customizations.xml files.

I re-zip the folder so that the file and folder structure is the same, but when I import the zip file I get the error:

This process cannot be created, updated, or activated because it was created outside the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web application. Your organization does not allow this type of process.

Is there a way to change files within an exported solution so that I can reimport it?

Thanks.

thanks for the reply- in the end it was to do with how I was re-zipping the solution.

What version of the CRM the old workflow was created? You could be getting this due to version/roll-up difference in the target environment.

You could compare the latest version of the XAML with the old one using a diff tool, like Beyond Compare (www.scootersoftware.com/) and see that version or property difference it has. This might help you to update the old one with right version or attributes.
