What are package-rules.xml Error Messages?


General package-rules.xml Runtime Errors

package-rules.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of MySQL Database Server, but can also occur while the program is running. These types XML errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while MySQL Database Server is running. Here are some of the most common package-rules.xml runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Installer for Windows\Manifest\package-rules.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 package-rules.xml file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MySQL Database Server), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, package-rules.xml file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MySQL Database Server, system crash while loading or saving package-rules.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.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve package-rules.xml problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



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


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying package-rules.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. My SQL Community typically does not release MySQL Database Server 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 package-rules.xml and all other XML files for MySQL Database Server. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
