@Dragoneles: Go

that error is because creation of a frame of that type is not allowed by non-blizzard maps.
if you wrongly reference an existing frame then you can also get that message because the game thinks you want to create a new frame of that type.

I will add this to the list above when I have more time.

3. {{{[[StarCraftMaps]\UI Layout Files\[StarCraftMaps]\UI Layout Files\Move Info Panel.SC2Layout: in 8 :col 1 ] Unknown start tag encountered: Anchor Anchor can be any frame property.

Fixes

1. You re missing the default template make up. Surround the contents of your SC2Layout file with "<Desc></Desc>" and add at the top "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>"
2. The are multiple causes for this one and also multiple fixes:
   1. If you are trying to move an existing frame, check if you have the location and type of the frame correctly.
   2. If you are trying to create a new frame, then you can not use that frame type.
3. You have a frame property defined outside of a frame you will get this error. for example when you have

<Desc>
  <Frame ....>
    ...
  </Frame>
  <Anchor ...>
</Desc>

instead of

<Desc>
  <Frame ....>
    ...
    <Anchor ...>
  </Frame>
</Desc>
