How to open DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file?
The main problem with SQL Server Deployment Target is that the DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file is incorrectly associated with programs.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DEPLOYMENTTARGETS 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 SQL Server
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft SQL Server program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft SQL Server in it.

Below you will find a list of applications that support DEPLOYMENTTARGETS files.
Programs to open DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file
Remember to download programs supporting DEPLOYMENTTARGETS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SQL Server with DEPLOYMENTTARGETS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file still does not use the Microsoft SQL Server program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file with the Microsoft SQL Server program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft SQL Server to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft SQL Server with SQL Server Deployment Target there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file. However, remember that not every infected DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DEPLOYMENTTARGETS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DEPLOYMENTTARGETS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DEPLOYMENTTARGETS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DEPLOYMENTTARGETS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
