Hello,
Thank you very much for providing a link to some data. The minute I looked at the .prj file I was able to figure out what was happening. The .prj file is using these projection parameters:
latitude_of_center
longitude_of_center
ESRI software expects
latitude_of_origin
central_meridian
The "center" parameters aren't recognized as corresponding to latitude of origin and central meridian, so internally these two parameters have values of 0,0. That's why the longitude values are around 4E and the latitude values are around 14S.
I've attached a .prj file (renamed .txt so it can be uploaded) with the ESRI version of ETRS-LAEA. Please redefine the data with that coordinate system, and I think you will find it working much better.
Another issue is that we use different names in the ETRS 1989 definition which triggers "these are not the same".
I hope this is useful,
Melita
Check the file permissions of the data using the normal windows file explorer.
Either the data itself or the directory it is in is probably set to "read only".
Good luck,
Neil
Hello!
The discussion is quite old but i have a similar problem. I try to project from WGS_1984 to ETRS_1989 but i always get error "000365 : Invalid geographic transformatin" and error 000361.
Can someone give me a hint? Thank you!

Hi Sophi,
That often means that we don't recognize the coordinate system (spatial reference) of the input data. For instance, there a different name or a value is not quite the same. Try redefining the coordinate system using the Define Projection Tool or the data's property page in ArcCatalog.
Could also occur if you're not directly using the coordinate systems folder to pick the output coordinate system but importing it from other data or a file.
