Thank you for your help. It worked. I used the RegisterSolution method. As to the RegForm, I had no 'luck'. I had an error message "RegForm does not support Microsoft Visual Studio version number 8.0.50727.42."

Hi

Your objective can be achieved by sending an MSI to your remote users, so that they can install it.
The MSI have certain benefits and the forms library others.

Typically when you use MSI files for trusted forms it is because

1) you want the user to have offline access to the forms
2) you don#%92t have a code signing certificate (to install in a form library you need to code sign the template)

Please read the following link to know more about creating MSI installer with RegForm tool

Problem Opening Up Offline Form

mewtwowomen — Thu, 08 Jun 2006 00:19:33 GMT

Hello,
We have a form published to the intranet and let the sales folks to sign in, place order and submit to order processing team. This set up works out well in North America. However, in Europe, S.Africa and Asia, a lot of orders are being placed by vendors or third party resellers, who do not have access to our intranet. Hence, I transformed the same form for offline ordering. The process is that a company rep. will forward the form to a third party reseller.
Problems popped up from this point. Resellers could not open the form. They were prompted for network id & password. Since they do not have any, they cancelled out. Then, they had error messages like "Could not open 'https://......." and "InfoPath cannot open the following file:Form1.xml. The following form template for the form cannot be found: https://....".
Is there a way I can fix this problem?
Thanks your help in advance.
