Hi -

Installing SharePoint on a machine that isn't running a server OS is tricky, I think. And installing SharePoint for all your form users individually - well, it would probably make more sense to just upgrade their Office installs to include InfoPath.

I'm not sure what your budget is, and I don't have much knowledge on the cost of different options, but have you considered Office 365? I'm not sure which options include InfoPath Forms Services, but that's what you'll need for browser forms. Good luck!

You are Putin...

and I am Everyone else

It cannot be done with free Sharepoint either unless you buy system administrator with Sharepoint Server 2010. This requires Infopath Forms Services of it. They are both paid options.

I do not know non-MS or free products using or integrating with Infopath forms

It is not difficult to create browser-based forms or web apps with free tools and free platforms instead of using enterprize solutions and then asking how to crack them

Infopath form/Web page

Hi Everyone This question may sound very stupid because i have very little experience with the area. The aim is for the forms which i have created in infopath to be view-able using a web browser, so that people can go to the form and fill it out whenever they need to without needing share-point to do so. I have looked at share-point and know what its capable of and tried to install the trail to my laptop but it wouldn't allow me to. I would be grateful if someone could suggest a cheap alternative to share-point that will meet my aim. (If possible, usable from a laptop) Or explain in simple terms what i need to install and use share-point.
