Comment on Creating a SharePoint Solution for an InfoPath Form Template Deployment by alonso.robles

Jerry,

Yes, I think its possible. And you are right about needing two features (you can add many features to a single solution package).

One thing to keep in mind is the deployment target of the workflow assembly. I am assuming Visual Studio created workflow with Windows Workflow Foundation. Workflow assemblies need to be deployed the GAC including the GAC of the application servers. So the solution deployment server type would need to be changed from a web front end to an application server. The application server option will push the assemblies to all of the servers.

[...] InfoPath browser-enabled form template deployments are easy enough to do via the InfoPath client when the template does not require administrator approval. However even when administrator approval is not required, but the SharePoint governance plan requires script-able deployments of all InfoPath forms due to quality assurance and user acceptance testing requirements we need a mechanism to package our forms in a WSS solution package.
