The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DBMANIFEST file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Visual Studio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Visual Studio into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open DBMANIFEST file
Remember to download programs supporting DBMANIFEST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with DBMANIFEST files
If, despite the installed application, the DBMANIFEST file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DBMANIFEST file with the Microsoft Visual Studio application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Visual Studio program with the Database Manifest file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBMANIFEST file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DBMANIFEST file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DBMANIFEST or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DBMANIFEST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DBMANIFEST file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DBMANIFEST file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DBMANIFEST files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DBMANIFEST file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DBMANIFEST file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DBMANIFEST file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
