That means that this file is opened. An because it is opened, it means that it is used by another process.
You will have to close it down, and then you can do (execute) your code.
Check doube times if file is in use or not (but I am sure it is in use atm).

check all the programs that are supposed to use the particular XML file

I guess so you have used FileStream for reading the XML file. If so, Close that Filestream..

Filestreamobject.Close();
