InfoPath Form Opens up in Client after site backup and restore

InfoPath Web Based Form Opens up in a Client after site collection backup and restore

Issue:

I encountered a small issue with InfoPath 2010 Form. I created a form and published to Form Library in SharePoint 2010. Its a browser based form and working fine with no issues at all.
We took a backup of site collection (where the form library exists) and restored to a new url.
Everything else was working fine except InfoPath form. This form does not open up in a browser infact opens up in an InfoPath client.

Resolution:

After bit of a research I was able to fix the problem.
  • In the new site collection, go to Site Collection Features.
  • Deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features
  • Go to Site Features.
  • Deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features
  • Activate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features
  • Go to Site Collection Features
  • Activate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features
Probably sequence does not matter but this is what I did and it worked for me.

Enjoy!
