The following error is happening when I’m attempting to CHECK-IN and PUBLISH an image within a newly installed SharePoint 2010 environment.

Check-in :

Error :

The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service. For more information, contact your server administrator.

Error (#2) :

This is being shown within the Event Viewer – corresponding to the same time/action :

Event 7898 (InfoPath Forms Services) of severity ‘Error’ occurred 2 more time(s) and was suppressed in the event log

Resolution :

From some hunting about, it would appear that the error is related to the “Session State” for InfoPath Forms Services – more specifically, related to Workflow forms.

The steps to fix it are to do the following :

1. Create a State Service application by using PowerShell
2. Associate a State Service proxy with the Web application
3. Create a State Service application by using the Farm Configuration Wizard
