What are description.xml Error Messages?


General description.xml Runtime Errors

description.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of Adobe Photoshop, but can also occur while the program is running. These types XML errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Adobe Photoshop is running. Here are some of the most common description.xml runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Required\Linguistics\Providers\Plugins2\AdobeHunspellPlugin\dictionaries\pa_in\description.xml

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most XML errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your description.xml file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Photoshop), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, description.xml file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Photoshop, system crash while loading or saving description.xml, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.


GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve description.xml problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download description.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying description.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Photoshop XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing description.xml and all other XML files for Adobe Photoshop. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
