in case it could be useful to anyone
having some trouble on AM3 starting, I've done some check after Ralph pointed out on possibly instruments files corruption, many thanks for it
while checking file I've made some testing not related to my issue (solved)
the new version of AM3 is now creating info.xml this way and without line feed (seen also that <description> tag is fixed)
take in mind to don't use the ampersand "&", inside information, which is not suitable when Instrument Scanner process start on load
