New Infopath 2013 in O 365: Select the form template to open this xml file

Question

I create a new forms library in o365/SPO. I click new document and it opens InfoPath2013 and asks for

Select the form template to open this xml file

Where do I get this from?

Also if select New InfoPath 2013 is says Find a form

I see no design option, or save as. All the design features are grayed out.

I confirmed I am logged into o365 as my corporate user that is using ADFS.

From InfoPath 2013 if I select NEW I'm only offered Find a Form.

How do I create a new Infopath form or template? Where can I find templates?

It's an A2 Office 365 license and I have owner rights to the library.

You must first have a template.

Apparently it works if you open Infopath and then select the SharePoint list data source and not the other way around.

Old post but where it says "select the form template to open this xml file" it also says "If you are working with a form library on a SharePoint site, close this dialog box, and then use InfoPath to publish a form template to the library.".
