Workaround

When editing the item description through the Catalog window without the layer being in ArcMap and adding the layer into the data frame and attempting to create a layer package, the item description is still present. The description remains present when editing from the Layer Properties dialog box from within the Table of Contents. When trying to create a layer package of a layer that does not have a description already entered in the layer properties, Error 00045 is received. To mitigate the error: 1. Right-click on the error. 2. Select ‘Change General Layer Properties’. 3. Add a description to the layer.
