How to Fix InfoPath Form Publishing Error – SharePoint 2013

InfoPath Cannot Save the Following Form

Error: InfoPath cannot save the following form: http://... this document library was either renamed or deleted, or network problems are preventing the file from being saved. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.
This may be a known fact which all of you guys heard. But I thought it's worth to share.

This is happening when you are trying to develop and publish InfoPath forms on your SharePoint Server.

According to the Microsoft KB Article  you have two Options to overcome this Issue  
  1. Enable Desktop experience on your SharePoint Server if you want to develop and publish InfoPath Forms on your SharePoint Server.
  2. Second option is do not develop your InfoPath forms in your SharePoint Server. Develop them in your client machine and publish them in to the server.
Following Section will guide you to enable Desktop Experience on your development Server.

How to Enable Desktop Experience on Windows 2012 Server

1.       Go to Server Manager and start Add Roles and Features wizard.

  1. sometimes rebooting the machine from where the form is being published resolves the issues, in my case reboot did the trick.
