Script Error Ie 10
→ A fix for ‘script errors' when running tools an error occurred in the script on this page windows 7 in ArcToolbox Posted on January 5, 2012 by mdhyslop_gis I recently was made aware http://support.esri.com/technical-article/000011008 of a fix for the long-present problem with ArcGIS on domain machines (i.e., users log in to lab or office machines using their ISO password) where a script error http://gis.mtu.edu/?p=427 is generated every time a tool in ArcToolbox is opened. After dismissing three error dialog boxes, the tool will run ‘normally'. Not a fatal error, but annoying. The problem stems from Internet Explorer, and can be fixed by replacing two files in \program files(X86)\ArcGIS10.0\ArcToolbox\Stylesheets A description of the fix and the replacement files are available from http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/38099 Administrator privileges are needed to implement the fix.

Since then, it seems I now get the same Script Error for import/export functions. However, I just tried to export to Geodatabase (multiple) and error did not pop up. I spoke with tech support and they could not help me so far. I really do not know much about GIS so it is hard for me to fix this problem and cannot proceed with some things. arcgis-desktop arcgis-10.2 geoprocessing esri-geodatabase share|improve this question edited May 1 at 3:02 PolyGeo♦ 38.8k1357141 asked Jun 18 '15 at 16:23 LynnR 63 Are you doing this through the GUI or by script. Is the exact script error "script error invalid pointer"? –artwork21 Jun 18 '15 at 19:35 1 There should be more to it than that... are you using 64bit background processing? That can give funny errors like this, perhaps turn it off (more about it here resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/…). It is also possible that the error is 'in the past' so co
Common ArcToolbox errors October 23, 2013/ Andy Smith If you are having problems with ArcToolbox and Geoprocessing tools, this blog article may be just for you! Whilst it is impossible to list all of the causes of ArcToolbox-related errors, below you will find some of the more common issues and some useful troubleshooting steps to try and resolve them.Blank Tool Dialog windows Have you recently installed another internet browser and made that your default? (e.g. Safari, Opera, Firefox, Chrome) ArcToolbox relies on Internet Explorer to function correctly; if this has become corrupt, uninstalled or replaced as the default internet browser, then toolbox functionality may be affected. We recommend installing the latest version of Internet Explorer that is available for your Operating System. If you are already running the lastest version, try setting it as your default Internet browser. If you still get blank toolboxes, you could try uninstalling and re-installing Internet Explorer, details of which can be found on the Microsoft Internet Explorer website.Another common fault relating to this issue is the width of the Help pane in the tool dialog becoming too wide, masking the tool's user interface. This is related to a specific registry setting, which you can check by perfoming the steps below:Please note: Making changes to the Windows Registry requires administrative rights on your machine, and can cause system instability if performed incorrectly. Esri UK does not accept any responsibility for issues arising from modifcations made to the registry. Please proceed at your own risk.1. Go to Start > Run and type in: regedit2. Go to HKEY_Current_User > Software > ESRI > Desktop 10.0 > ArcToolbox > Settings.3. Locate the binary value called DlgHelpWidth, right-click it, and choose Modify.4. Change the value data to cc. Click OK and close registry editor.Afurther cause of this error is related to the uninstallation of certain antivirus software (commonly McAfee, but also seen with Avast). When this software is uninstalled, certain files are removed but are not replaced with those originally installed by ArcMap, resulting in the above error. This issue is discussed further in the following Esri Knowledge Base Article.Internet Explorer Script Error Internet Explorererrors like the one shown above can be generated when running Geoprocessing tools on machines that make use of Folder Redirection and Roaming Profiles.The solution to this issue is discussed in the following Esri Knowledge Base Article.Blank Error Message This type of error is often related to a corrupt version of the ArcToolbox.dat file located in the
