How to open MANAGED_MANIFEST file?

The main problem with Silverlight Manifest is that the MANAGED_MANIFEST file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MANAGED_MANIFEST to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MANAGED_MANIFEST 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 Silverlight

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Silverlight program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Silverlight into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MANAGED_MANIFEST.

Programs to open MANAGED_MANIFEST file

Remember to download programs supporting MANAGED_MANIFEST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Silverlight with MANAGED_MANIFEST files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MANAGED_MANIFEST file to open in the Microsoft Silverlight application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Silverlight application as the default for handling the MANAGED_MANIFEST file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Silverlight to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Silverlight program with the Silverlight Manifest file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 MANAGED_MANIFEST file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MANAGED_MANIFEST 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MANAGED_MANIFEST or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MANAGED_MANIFEST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MANAGED_MANIFEST file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MANAGED_MANIFEST file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MANAGED_MANIFEST files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MANAGED_MANIFEST to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MANAGED_MANIFEST file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
