Missing Form Templates library. (‘Failed to instantiate file “solution.xsn” from module “XSN”: The specified list does not exist.’)

Symptoms

You attempt to activate an "Administrator approved" InfoPath form that has been deployed through Central Administration and you receive an error that states 'Failed to instantiate file "solution.xsn" from module "XSN": The specified list does not exist.'

Upon further investigation through "View All Site Content" or SharePoint Designer, you are unable to find the "Form Templates" library.

Solution

Activate the "IPFSWebFeatures" and "IPFSSiteFeatures" through the command prompt.

To do this you will need to logon to the console of your SharePoint server and enter the following commands:

Stsadm –o activatefeature –name IPFSWebFeature –url -force
Stsadm –o activatefeature –name IPFSSiteFeature –url -force

Both commands should return a "Operation completed successfully" message.

Refresh your "View All Site Content" and you should notice the "Form Templates" library is now listed.
