I should be able to download trial version of InfoPath

[Michael K.]

I am a remote user who needs to install InfoPath on my local machine. My
company has numerous, unused licenses for it, but I don't have access to our
physical media (CD-ROM) because I work from a remote location. I wanted to
download the trial version and upgrade it to the standard version by entering
one of our valid keys. Unfortunately, there is no option to download the
InfoPath trial. The only option is to pay a $4.95 shipping charge for the
InfoPath Trial Media Kit. I have successfully downloaded and upgraded Visio
using the process I described, so I know it is possible. Please make
available the option to download the trial version of InfoPath. Thanks,
Michael K.

We have found out that infopath is dependent on what type of internet
explorer is installed.

Hi Mike. I'm not sure I understand your response. I use IE to browse the
Microsoft InfoPath site, and I'm sure Microsoft runs scripts to determine my
browser type and version. If InfoPath is dependent on my browser version, why
not redirect me to a download page appropriate for that version? Or offer to
let me download a version of Internet Explorer that is compatible with
InfoPath, before downloading and installing the trial version of InfoPath.
Thanks for your help. Michael K.
