Thanks Albert that worked, here's what I did.

From Add/Remove programs I selected InfoPath, clicked change and from the popup dialog 'Add or Remove features'>Continue. Microsoft Office InfoPath>.NET Programmability Support (enabled)>.NET Programmabiltiy Support for .NET Framework version 2.0 (disabled - huh?). I enabled this and Visual Studio Tools for Applications underneath it, after installing it finally worked. The installed products list now reads:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727

Installed Edition: Professional

Microsoft Visual Basic 2005   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005

Microsoft Visual C# 2005   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual C# 2005

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Applications   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Applications

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System

Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System

A lot of fuss for what should be a simple hello world.

You could try to look in the Office setup. Under InfoPath (add/remove programs) there is an options to enable .NET programming support.

This is for 2007, don't know about 2003, but i guess it is the same.

Problem with a hello world - what more software do I need?

Being new to managed code I've been trying to follow this guide:

Walkthrough: Creating a Basic Managed Code Form Template
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa942693(VS.80).aspx

I got as far as clicking the 'Edit Form Code' button before I got this error:

InfoPath cannot add the event handler.

To work with the VisualBasic or C# code, Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) is required.

This is after doing a long and painful installation of all the software I thought I'd need earlier. The about dialog in Visual Studio 2005 lists the following installed components:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727

Installed Edition: Professional

Microsoft Visual Basic 2005   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005

Microsoft Visual C# 2005   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual C# 2005

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System

Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition   xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System

What more do I need to install in order to be able to edit form code?
