APPXMANIFEST File Complications


Typical APPXMANIFEST Opening Challenges

Microsoft Visual Studio Not Present

You attempt to load your APPXMANIFEST file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The APPXMANIFEST File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your APPXMANIFEST file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your APPXMANIFEST file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Visual Studio

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed that's incompatible with your Windows Store App Source Manifest type. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio. This issue mainly occurs when your Windows Store App Source Manifest file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio than you have on your PC.


Tip: Right-clicking on your APPXMANIFEST, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Conclusion: The majority of APPXMANIFEST file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Visual Studio version installed.
