Packaging infopath source files back to cab

[Ishai Sagi]

Hi,

If I take the infopath form template, and save it as source files, I get
files that I can edit (xsd files) and do the modifications that I want.

But how do I turn them back into a template?

I tried using makecab.exe and the CAB project from visual studio, but while
these make files that infopath can open in design mode, infopath fails when I
try to create a new form from the template saying "the form template contains
files that are not referenced in the form definition (.xsf) or are referenced
more than once"

help?

I found the solution.

Visual studio adds an OSD file automatically, and I cant find a way to stop
it. So I downloaded cabarc, and used that instead. Now it works.

I also believe you can leave them unpacked in the same directory and just
right click manifest.xsf -> design.

It's helpful if you're constantly making changes by hand in the source files
and don't have a need to pack them back to a cab every time.

You missed the point- I need to do it where I dont have Ibfopath...
