Copy the files from the CAB folder into a new folder
From the new folder, open manifest.xsf with a text editor, like notepad
Make your changes, save manifest.xsf
From the new folder, try to open manifest.xsf in design mode
If the form opens, you can 'repackage' it by using File / Save As to save the form template

Can't open manifest.xsf

Hello,

I am new to Infopath and have been developing a few forms and have run into an issue. My newest version of this form will no longer open as there is a duplicate data connection listed in the manifest.xsf. The problem is that I cannot open the manifest to edit it. When I try to open the solution file it gives me the error, if I rename the solution file to a cab and open in VS I can see the manifest and extract it but then cannot get it back into the solution. Any suggestions would be welcome, I have lost an entire weekends worth of work if I lose this version.

Any suggestions on modifying this file?

Thank you
