Hi Rajapriya,
You will need InfoPath 2007 installed in order to open the 2007 form template that you have. I also found a forum link on MSDN, regarding Visual Studio 2008, that might be useful for you: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vsto/thread/75eba78e-ee3e-4b32-8f31-ce70fc0914b2

Hi, You will need an InfoPath form template to open a non-InfoPath created XML. If you are looking to just edit an XML file, you can use any text editor, such as Notepad, or a free application such as XML Notepad (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=72d6aa49-787d-4118-ba5f-4f30fe913628&displaylang=en). - Dipesh
