There could be numerous cases when you could get this error message. Could you please tell us when exactly you got it? What Subversion server do you use? What TortoiseSVN client version do you use?

At this moment I could only guess that you pass an invalid URL to TortoiseSVN. What URL do you enter?

Hello Joe,

"The XML response contains invalid XML" should be only the first part of the error. There has to be a second line with the second part of the error. So what is the complete and exact wording of the error?

I regret to say that it's still not clear what you mean by "update a sub folder". Do you run `svn update` on one working copy and get the error, but on the other working copy that update completes without errors? Or do you `svn update` just one of subtrees of the working copy? Do you get any errors when you `svn checkout` a working copy?

Do you run an antivirus on your server or client workstation? Is there any proxy between the server and the client?

You could also check VisualSVN Server's event log to get some clues:

1. Start Event Viewer,
2. Navigate to Applications and Services Logs | VisualSVN Server.

BTW, VisualSVN Server 3.5.6 is already available to download, but your server version is 3.5.0 as far as I see. I'd recommend keeping your server up-to-date. Applying a patch update for VisualSVN Server is always painless and fast; patch updates contain only bug fixes and no new features. Just download and run the installer of newer version.

The same recommendation goes for TortoiseSVN. You could upgrade to TortoiseSVN 1.9.4 that is now the latest one.
