A Runtime Error has occurred while working on ArcGIS desktop

Asked By paulartney 1290 points N/A Posted on - 07/20/2011

Hi guys,

I am posting here an error while I encountered while working on ArcGIS desktop, when I am in the middle of my work, an error message came across my screen, pasted below the screenshot of the error.

A Runtime Error has occurred.

Do you wish to debug?

Line: 39

Error: Object doesn’t support this property or method

The above error only occurred this time, that is why this scenario is new to me, what I did, I shut down my computer a have it rest for a while, because I notice its temperature is getting high, after an hour  I turned ON the computer and back to my work using ArcGIS desktop, bust same error persisted,

Please share some comments on my post,

Thanks a lot

A Runtime Error has occurred while working on ArcGIS desktop

Hi.

If you encountered this error “A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to debug? Error: Object doesn’t support this property or method” forArcGIS desktop,one possible cause of such error is maybe one or more MS XML.dll files is not registered properly.

You can try the following steps in manually re-registering the following  .dll files (msxml.dll, msxml2.dll and msxml3.dll):

Go to Start > Run >  typecmd and Ok. On the dos window type cd C:windowssystem32 and then press enter.

Then type regsvr32 msxml.dll and enter.

Type regsvr32 msxml2.dll and enter.

And lastly type regsvr32 msxml3.dll andenter.

See if it helps.
