Hi,

What is the different between From Server and office SharePoint.

In order to publish InfoPath require with one. What make those be a
different product. When I need Office Forms Server 2007 When I need Office
Share Point 2007?

I just download MS Office Forms Server 2007 beta testing from MS web site.
When I execute Setup.exe it prompt me error said "The Language of this
installation package is not supported by your system" But I eventually are
using English as the only langauge in my windows 2003 R2.

Forms Server is included in Office Sharepoint be default. Office Sharepoint
includes extra features like excel services . Forms Server is the product
for
those who does not want the extra features of Sharepoint.

Hi Madhur,

It this mean that if I dun want publish InfoPath in sharePoint than
I just go for From Server. In others word I can deploy it in IIS with normal
ASP.NET page. I'm right?

It's Office Server Like Office SharePoint , Office Forms Server
,Groove Server and etc must run in windows server platfrom or it also can
run in windows XP PRO?

I have run successfully client products like Groove , Office 2007 etc
in Windows XP. But the server products like Sharepoint, Forms Server
require Windows 2003 SP1 atleast.

Hope this helps

Dear Madhur,

Sorry for that. I have not check my spelling. I just try to make sure
it's From Server can it work independent without SharePoint? Can I deploy
infoPath in Web Application or must inside SharePoint web site.

Thank in advance,
Goh

Yes Forms Server is an independent product using which you can deploy
infopath
forms on the web browser. If you install Forms SErver, it has exactly same
look
and feel as sharepoint. You get document libraries, site templates etc. It
doesnt
look different.
Difference is the missing of features like Excel Web Access , Search ,
indexing etc...

Hope this helps

No. I dont think so. It is a seperate product in server family.
You are talking about the client side product.
