Just in case anyone else encounters this problem, I found the solution: 1) Go to Windows Features 2) Expand "Windows .NET Framework 3.5.1" 3) Select all items for installation 4) Click "OK" 5) Restart if necessary This resolved my issue.

I have tried a whole new computer and I have tried setting up new accounts on the computer--maybe it's the set of installed software that I'm using?

Can you try to create a code project with another account?

Perhaps, you have something corrupt on your profile.

This is on a brand new form. There is nothing to copy.

Ok sorry I misunderstood your first post , I think you have a problem on the "preview".

I can suggest to make a copy of your code and form (Just in case ...), after that you can copy your codes. Try to remove your code files (with infopath ) and create a new one. Paste your copy and try it.

I hope your problem would be solved.

I have tried opening VB for Applications (2005) separately; it opens just fine. I have also opened up the file permissions to make sure it wasn't failing to write a file. Still no luck. I have also attempted a repair and it didn't make a difference.

Hi, I'm not sure that it can help, but have you checked the "design checker"?

Yes... apparently it has something to do with a config file, but of course from Infopath you never create a config file. In fact, it doesn't even get as far as showing me visual studio before it errors out.

I am using InfoPath 2010. VBS for Applications starts up and says, "Creating the Visual Basic or C#" project, thinks for a while, then throws the error: "Configuration system failed to initialize." Any ideas?
