IP Forms only for MOSS 2007?

Can somebody refute or verify this information for me? I was told in a training session last week that one can use IP forms for workflow in WSS v3. The trainer stated that because the IP forms are rendered by workflow as aspx that one does not need MOSS 2007 Enterprise (with the Forms server).

Is this correct information? The reason I ask is that I'm not sure how to deploy the forms as a feature with my workflow under WSS v3.

Here is the contents of my workflow.xml.

Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Workflow
Name="Print Shop Workflow"
Description="This feature is a sequential workflow for the processing of the Print Shop Work Request."
Id="D2ECA809-92FE-4814-BEC8-D74137845F4C"
CodeBesideClass="WFPrintShop.PrintShopWF"
CodeBesideAssembly="WfPrintShop, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ca6cd8862a434dbf"
TaskListContentTypeId="0x01080104"
AssociationUrl="_layouts/WFAssoc.aspx"
InstantiationUrl="_layouts/WFInit.aspx">
<Categories/>
<MetaData> <Instantiation_FormURN>urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:PrintShopInitForm:-myXSD-2007-02-13T18-13-30</Instantiation_FormURN> <Task0_FormURN>urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:PrintShopTaskForm:-myXSD-2007-02-13T23-14-32</Task0_FormURN>
<StatusPageUrl>_layouts/WrkStat.aspx</StatusPageUrl>
</MetaData>
</Workflow>
</Elements>

I'm really unsure about the AssociationUrl and the InstantiationUrl. What should those point to? The code snippet that comes with the MOSS SDK points them to

AssociationUrl="_layouts/CstWrkflIP.aspx"
InstantiationUrl="_layouts/IniWrkflIP.aspx"
ModificationUrl="_layouts/ModWrkflIP.aspx"

These files don't exist in WSS v3. I'm so confused now.

Those custom files (ModWrkflIP.aspx ...) only come with Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Enterprise. You cannot use InfoPath forms for Assoc., Inst. , Mod. & Task Edit forms with WSS 3. If you install Office Forms Server 2007 on top of WSS 3 you will be able to fillout forms online but not use them to control workflows because you will be missing those custom pages and several other things that only come with the Enterprise version.

Hope this helps

Yep, that is exactly the answer I was looking for. Too bad for me that my instructor was wrong with his info...that wasted 2 days of work.

How do I install Office Forms Server? (we only have MOSS 2007 standard and needs to render infopath forms on our site)
