Website Restore Error

Recently, I was trying to browse a website with IE 10, which also uses Java. Noticed the "Website Restore error" (as shown below).


When i tried to browse the same site with IE 10 (No Add-ons) [You will see the IE 10 (No Add-ons) under Accessories >> System Tools], it was fine but saw a warning message.

The browser's Java plugin is not enabled. This Site uses java for certain file operations.

Worked on to identify the add-on which causes the "Website Restore error".
Finally found that the new Java add-on was causing the issue.


Disabled the 'Java Plug-in 11.51.2' and browsed the web site. Now it is working fine.

How to get latest InfoPath Template

Many SharePoint Developers work on InfoPath templates and publish from their computer/laptop. While they leave the company,if we forget to get the copies, it will be difficult to make further modifications.

We found a way to extract the latest template from the Form Library.

Go to the Form Library Settings >> Advanced Settings, you will see the URL of the Template. You can click on Edit Template and continue modifying.


Otherwise, you can save the Template to your desktop and start working on it.
Add the Template URL to the site URL to save the Template to your Desktop.

You can also use SharePoint Designer to get the latest template.

Open Site in SharePoint Designer. Go to Form Library >> Forms Folder. You will find the template.xsn. Get a copy and use it to update new modifications.
