The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DOCSET 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 Kapeli Dash

Programs to open DOCSET file
Remember to download programs supporting DOCSET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kapeli Dash with DOCSET files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DOCSET file still does not use the Kapeli Dash program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DOCSET file with the Kapeli Dash application.
Step 3. Update Kapeli Dash to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Kapeli Dash program with the Doxygen Document Set Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOCSET file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DOCSET file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DOCSET file. Sometimes virus-infected DOCSET files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DOCSET file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DOCSET file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DOCSET except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DOCSET to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DOCSET file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DOCSET file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DOCSET file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
