ERROR_PLATFORM_MANIFEST_INVALID
The active Platform Manifest cannot be accepted as a valid manifest
ERROR_PLATFORM_MANIFEST_INVALID is Win32 error 4571 (0x11DB) in the Platform Manifest authorization family. Windows reached the manifest itself and rejected its validity before a file, catalog, or Binary ID can be authorized against it.
What to preserve
- Record the exact manifest artifact, its hash, size, version or generation, and the provisioning/servicing operation that selected it.
- Keep the first parser, validation, servicing, or platform-trust event that explains why the manifest was rejected.
- Compare the artifact with the manifest expected for the same device/platform generation. A valid UWP application manifest is not a substitute for this platform authorization data.
How this differs from neighboring results
ERROR_PLATFORM_MANIFEST_NOT_SIGNED and ERROR_PLATFORM_MANIFEST_NOT_AUTHORIZED describe signature or authorization state, while catalog/file/Binary-ID results describe entries evaluated against a usable manifest. This code is the earlier boundary: the Platform Manifest itself is not valid for evaluation.
Recovery
Restore or provision the correct platform-approved manifest using the supported servicing or provisioning path, then repeat the original authorization operation. Do not hand-edit the manifest or change individual file/catalog authorization entries until the manifest-validity failure is resolved.
