Installation of any WSP fails with message: Name cannot begin with the ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20
The problem is that sharepoint doesn't report which file is causing trouble. And we have problem installing any WSP, so I think this file is somewhare deployed on SP server. If you take a look at second log it reports that error is in the line 1949... When I run configuration wizard I get this error in log for every wsp installed.
I've searched web config and unpacked some WSPs but these do not have that many lines.

Even SP Configuration Wizard fails with same message
