microsoft infopath 2010 is required to use this feature

Question

"microsoft infopath 2010 is required to use this feature"

I get this message when I select  Customize Form.

• Infopath 2010 is installed.
• Infopath Form Services is configured and running
• State service is running
• The site is not locked
• The site is not read-only
• The webapp does not have mutiple bindings in IIS
• The site can be opened in SPD 2010

What else can the problem be?

Answer 1

Hi ,

Have you restarted the computer after you installed InfoPath 2010 ?

You need to restart computer after installing InfoPath .In InfoPath designer ,you can create a SharePoint list template .Have a try here to connect to the specific SharePoint list to see whether the InfoPath designer works well .

Thanks,

Yes I have restarted the server (it's a VM) after installing Infopath.
I've installed the April 2012 cumulative update.

I can open the site/list directly in SPD 2010 and then choose Design Forms in InfoPath from the Ribbon. I can then create the form in InfoPath and successfully publish the form to the SP List.

I can't get to Infopath 2010 from the Customize Form button and I can't get to SPD 2010 from the Edit in SharePoint Designer Button either.

The Customize Form button throws up a dialog box to say I need it installed to use the feature and the SPD button throws up the SPD designer download dialog screen.

UPDATE:

I finally got this working, but I don't' know how. It seemed to just start working correctly.
I was playing with the IE settings just before this, so it may have been something there!

Hi,

I assume that you`ve enabled option "Run ActiveX Controls and Plugins" and "Script ActiveX Controls Marked Safe for Scripting" in the IE.

I`ve experienced the same issue and got it fixed by enabling the options above. 

Answer 4

 

I recently changed the settings on my InfoPath application to always run as an administrator and this same issue began to happen. I turned off the run as administrator checkbox and the issue was resolved.

Answer 5

I have enabled the following Addons on Internet Explorer to get it working
