Publishing an InfoPath 2007-form to a InfoPath Form Services server: URL not valid

Since I am using an official image which was created by Microsoft itself, I assumed there was nothing wrong with installation, but with configuration. After searching for quite some time without results, I started googling and found this article by Firedancer which came up with a solution: stop the System Event Notification Service! I have no idea how they found this solution, but it sure works! Thanks Firedancer!
