I am getting the error when running the metadata function of arcpy function:

Hi

That looks like an ArcGIS error message.

This was my first hit using Google: https://geonet.esri.com/thread/61030

Could you try the solution listed there and tell us if it resolves the problem?

Hello Everyone,

The above solution posted by david_r and specified in GeoNet definitely works and you would need to do the GAC adding after each upgrade of ArcGIS from 10.x and higher.

Getting gacutil.exe required another google search. For Windows 7,go to link Code Project Link and run cmd.exe in command line with administrative privileges and run command as "GACutilLocation\\gacutil.exe" /i "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ArcGIS\\Desktop10.0\\Bin\\GpMetadataFunctions.dll"

I hope the above helps.

Great to hear that you found a solution and thanks for sharing it here.
