Important Patch for ArcGIS 10.2 Users

[GregoryLehner]

Esri would like to remind our ArcGIS for Desktop / Server / Engine 10.2 users that a patch exists to fix an issue where the software crashes on launch when attempting to open shapefiles.

The patch to fix this issue is available now for ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop, Engine and Server users.

Please refer to KB article 41680 for more information.Can’t install the patch or upgrade?

Usually, the shapefiles associated with this crash contain dBase files with a large number of fields. Converting the shapefiles to file geodatabase feature classes can help to work around the crashing.
