InfoPath Dev

I am trying to deploy/publish infopath form x.xsn file using script in production environment.
can we do this? Does script available so that i can include in MSI package?

Hello Raghunath,
To create msi you have to install Infopath SDK. Infopath SDK has regform.exe tool which is used to create msi. To create msi please follow these steps:
1. Publish your solution to local machine.
2. Open cmd and Run this.
regform.exe /u urn:MyForm:MyCompany /FT "Form name" /C "Company name" /V 0.0.0.0 /T Yes /O "output file name" /MSI /LANG ENG "C:\InfoPath\MyForm.xsn (the path where you have published the solution)"
3. msi will be created.

In the above path /MSI Specifies that the output installation file is a Microsoft System Installer (.msi) file. The default is a Microsoft JScript (.js) file.

Hope this helps!

Note that the MSI that InfoPath creates requires InfoPath to be installed on the machine because it calls the InfoPath external application object to run the RegisterSolution method. The assumption is that you have InfoPath on all the machines where you are running your install script.
