Infopath form closes as soon as you open it in sharepoint workflows.

I had a strange error as soon as a VS 2005 workflow that I wrote for Sharepoint would try open an InfoPath form it would close without giving any errors. The only error was the following in the logs: EventType ulsexception12, P1 w3wp.exe, P2 6.0.3790.1830, P3 42435e74, P4 microsoft.office.infopath.server, P5 12.0.6219.0, P6 4845c8d9, P7 9573, P8 194, P9 fileloadexception, P10 82lz.
To resolve this issue ensure that there are no empty parameter floating around in the ItemMetadata.xml files that the InfoPath form is not using. Once I removed all unwanted parameters the issue was resolved.
