P: This Face Expression File is bad or corrupted

I keep gettting the following error when I launch Photoshop 2020 on a Windows 10 64bit machine

 

This Face Expression File is bad or corrupted

 

I assume it relates to the Default Face Expression Presets.p3f file, which a scan reveals to be OK. The application launches after I click OK but how can I get rid of the error?

 

I have reinstalled, tried the clean up tool and there has even been an update since it started but still it persists. Is there anywhere I can find a replacement file?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Steve

When starting up PS 2024, PS is reporting a missing or corrupted file: "Gezichtsuitdrukking" e.g. face-expression.  

Deleting and re-installing PS 2024 does not help.

Where do i have to place the corerect file? (Windows 11)

@Norbert28313045nuf2 I can't read what the error message says, but it looks like this issue, try the correct answer from @jane-e in this thread

Oui moi aussi, j' avais résolu le PB il y a quelques mois et ça avait bien fonctionné mais là ce même message est revenu et là rien n y fait. Aucune incidence par contre sur le fonctionnement de Photoshop.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
