I think you're looking for xmllint. It comes as a part of libxml2.

i didn't see any gui for xmllint for windows, might be a nice coding snack..

CLI is much better for batch operation, which is what Lan Man asked for. I'm happy to help out with a batch file

One other option would be to use Notepad++ with the XML Tools plugin.

Looks like libexpat contains a tool specifically to check xml well-formed-ness. Get a copy here and try out the xmlwf.exe tool.
