In setting up the InfoPath forms Server, I successfully installed the SharePoint services application. I then installed and started to configure the InfoPath forms server. I got to the 8th step and it eventually time out stating that it could not connect to the Microsoft##SSEE database, that I needed to make sure that remote connections were enabled.
I went to this KB article and configured the SSEE database for remote connections. I was still getting the error on configuration.
What I ended up realizing was that the SSEE database is an orphaned database that should not be installed. I then needed to uninstall the database and re-configure the forms server. Here are the steps to uninstall the Microsoft##SSEE database:
- In the registry browse to this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
- Click on each of the sub folders {GUID} on the left hand column and look at the display name on the right until you see “Microsoft SQL 2005 embedded Edition…”
- Copy the value that is stored as the UninstallString (for example: MsiExec.exe /X{0F51A262-1ADF-4914-B448-78AC58C4178A})
- Open up a command prompt and paste the value and add to the end of the string ” CALLERID=OCSETUP.EXE”
- Example c:\Temp\MsiExec.exe /X{0F51A262-1ADF-4914-B448-78AC58C4178A} CALLERID=OCSETUP.EXE
