Error in infopath - The form cannot be loaded because infopath .net programmability support could not be installed automatically


Microsoft InfoPath error "The form cannot be loaded because infopath .net programmability support could not be installed automatically

This error means you probably don't have the required component installed for infopath. You don't have to reinstall office to fix this.

- Open Control Panel
- Goto Programs
- Locate Office 2010
- Right click goto 'change'
- Choose Add or Remove Features, click 'Continue'.
- Open the Feature for 'Microsoft Infopath'
- Right click .NET Programmability Support, Choose run from computer.
- Continue , Wait for finish.
Done.

You can also fix this using and XML file which can come in handy for an SCCM deployment.

Create an XML with the following

Configuration Product="ProPlus">
Level="basic"
CompletionNotice="no"
SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes"
NoCancel = "yes"
/>
Id="XDOCSFiles"
State="local"
/>
Id="XDocs_PIA"
State="local"
/> Id="XDOCSHelpFiles"
State="local"
/> Id="GrooveFiles"
State="Absent"
/>
Id="SETUP_REBOOT"
Value="Never"
Children="force"

Save as Infopath.xml and save it in the Office\Config folder (where you source files are).

Then to call it, use:

setup.exe /config .\config\Infopath.xml

Notes:
an XML file can also be used to uninstall a office component
