InfoPath Tips #1-Clearing the cache

I ran into an issue with InfoPath a couple months ago, struggled for like two days, almost reformatted my workstation because of it, it turned out to be an issue with InfoPath not *completely" clear.

"A parameter in the URL specifies to open the form in Microsoft InfoPath 2010. This product is not currently installed."

From the above error message itself, sounds like an InfoPath installation issue(reinstalling Office 2010 just didn't help), but after digging the log file on the server, it pointed me toward the InfoPath cache.

It turned out the following command doesn't get the clearing job done *completely*
infopath /cache clearall

I finally I ran into this article:

You *not only* need to do the above but also need to go to:
Start->Run->%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\InfoPath

And clean up there.



After I did this my problem went away.

hopefully this could help some one who ran into same issue.
