work flow enabled content type

As we all know , InfoPath forms contains managed code (c# or vb.net) will not be able to be published to MOSS libraries directly. Additional approval from site admin is required to publish. So I publish the template to local harddrive and use central admin to upload such template so template is appeared as a new site wide content type which can be used as default open/new template in the form library.However,after uploading the template to MOSS, if you go to manage form templates, you will always see the status of the newly uploaded template as "upgrading". I know it's timered job in MOSS and there should be somewhere you could set the interval of job scheduling. But I just couldn't find it... anyway, back to the content type with work flow enabled. You can either use infopath work flow using VSTA code, or using this work flow provided by sharepoint to bind it to your sharepoint form lib with content type you customized. You can capture the event of insert and update on the list to trigger your workflow and appoint the approver(s)
