Invalid Layer Package

RobertDominick — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:06:14 GMT

Whenever I create a layer package in Arc10, I can upload it to ArcGIS Explorer from my own computer. But, when I email it, or save it to disk, it won't open in Explorer but gives the error message: "invalid layer package." When I send it to ArcGIS Online, it dispays fine in that program, but gives the same error message when downloaded and opened in Explorer. What's happening?

I am experiencing the exact same behavior and have yet to figure it out.

What OS are you using? Is it 32 or 64 bit? I have seen some issues with layer packages not working on 32 bit OS, but will on 64 bit OS.
