I got an unhelpful ERROR 999999 when trying to use Package Map tool on a small ArcMap 10.5 project. "Failed to execute (PackageMap" What can I try?
I tried this again without checking the box "Convert data to file goedatabase (optional)", and the map package was successfully created. That one layer that caused an error 999999 when I tried to export the data to a file geodatabase instead of a map package may have been what was causing my original problem with Package Map with the box checked.
Because I couldn't make a map package, I ended up exporting the feature classes used in the map to a file database to hand off. One feature class sockeyegroups2.shp failed to convert, throwing an ERROR 999999. This is probably the reason the Package Map operation failed.

A guy here wanted to take over analyzing our sockeye data. Although I would have preferred showing him the links to the data, he requested map packages of two of my maps. This makes a little sense since he will often be working off our network and the spawning data is embarrassingly disorganized. The first map of the lake bathemetry produced a package swimmingly, even though I was unsure that Package Map could handle a terrain correctly.
The second map is a big mess of spawning data, produced from a jumble of formats from GPS units, some as shapefiles, some as text files that I had displayed as XY events, and some of those converted to shapefiles. What has happened here is that a third guy, for the last three years, has emailed me a bunch of file dumps from his crew's GPS units, or sometimes brought me the units, in a panic, saying "I need to present this tomorrow, just add all this to last years map." I made it happen but I haven't gone back to reorganize this data.
First I got a ERROR 001117 because there was no map description, so I corrected that. Then I found five layers with projection undefined, so I corrected that. But then I hit ERROR 999999, and I didn't know what do try next. I removed the layers that referred to Events from text files but still got 999999.

Let's start with the sequence of steps in the help topic... Package Map...
some people miss this step
The input layer must have a description in order for the tool to execute. To add a description, right-click the layer, click Properties, and enter a description.
And what else did you do?
