InfoPath Dev

Hello,
I am currently working on a .NET project that is using the Infopath FormControl embedded in a windows application. The Infopath forms submit their data to the windows app and also have C# code on the back end as well.

What are my options for deploying the Infopath forms so that they can be packaged in the windows installer and distributed?

Is there a way to get around having to specify an access path when the infopath form is published?

Any insight into this process would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
You can create an MSI to be distributed but the form needs to have full Trust
Also You can deploy the form to a Shared folder or a Local folder or to a Sharepoint form Library or to a Webserver.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Kalyan,

Thanks for the reply. I don't think either of those solutions is ideal in my case.

The application is being deployed as a desktop app (Windows forms) so "a Shared folder or a Local folder or to a Sharepoint form Library or to a Webserver" will not work for me.

The issue with publishing the form as an MSI is that the form isn't being used as a stand alone solution. It is embedded in a windows form using the Infopath windows form control (InfoPath.FormControl). I'd rather not have a separate installer for the windows app and then an installer for each of the infopath forms that the windows app uses.

Surely there is a better solution for deploying these forms?
