I created a workflow in sp designer, it generated 2 forms, then I associted the workflow to a content type and it opens a browser when I selected the user I got this error

Its important to note there is that I had done this, but I deleted the workflow from the content type because I just wanted to be sure that I learnt the process.

There is already a workflow association with this name 'Trainin gApproval WorkFlow'.

I have same issue, when trying to use contentType.WorkflowAssociations.Update(wfAssociation);. I followed instructions here msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…. Was there resolution? – David Aug 29 '12 at 20:26

If you are again exercising the entire steps of creating a workflow and adding it again to a content type, then I would suggest you to retarct the one you developed previously from the Solutions Gallery in your site collection first and then proceed with this.

how can I do that? – Luis Valencia Aug 25 '10 at 4:32
At the root of your site collection, go to site settngs page and look for Solutions Gallery link. Now find your workflow solution in there, select it and choose to deactivate and remove it from the ribbnon. – Vivek Aug 25 '10 at 7:02
the workflow is not there, I used SPD to create the workflow not Visual Studio. – Luis Valencia Aug 26 '10 at 2:07
What kind of workflow is that? Is that a reusable WF created in SPD2010. If it is then you must see a WSP for your workflow in the solutions gallery... – Vivek Aug 26 '10 at 2:46
