Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YWEMANIFEST 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 suggests truncating the YWEMANIFEST file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YWEMANIFEST or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected YWEMANIFEST file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YWEMANIFEST files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YWEMANIFEST file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Yahoo, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted YWEMANIFEST 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the YWEMANIFEST file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the YWEMANIFEST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the YWEMANIFEST file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
