The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [PARM]

I am also having the same issue. I cannot even open Illustrator without it prompting me with the error. Not sure what to do as I can't even access the files I had previously been working on.

I understand this is an old post but I just experienced this fault with an emergence map I am updating and found that some of the paths were the cause. All I needed to do was set the path stroke back to Basic and then add back the arrows and added attributes. Once I had completed this I have not received anymore errors

FYI I’m running V29.5
