Publish InfoPath Form Issue – InfoPath failed to publish

When you trying to publish an InfoPath form to document library for the first time it successes.

But try again; you will get the following error message

“InfoPath failed to publish because the default content type in the document library is not based on the Form content type.”

Solution

1. Go to Site Actions >> Site Settings >> Manage site features
2. Activate the feature “Team Collaboration Lists”

   

3. In InfoPath form; File >> Publish >> SharePoint Server

   

4. Publish the form again to a new document library instead of the old one because the old one was create of template Document Library

   And the correct on should be Form Library
