RE: Create a missing Workflow History List
No problems.
Just remember that you can have as many history/task lists as you need and it
is usually a good idea to have seperate ones if you expect a workflow to
generate a large number of history/tasks.

Thanks Paul,
I found there is feature for Workflow history list and I used that to create
the list
SPWeb.Lists.Add("Workflow History", "Workflow History Via Code.",
"WorkflowHistory", "00BFEA71-4EA5-48D4-A4AD-305CF7030140", 140, "101");

The provisioning code for this all exists within the site definition Publishing

Hi Guys,
In one of our applications we have chosen the template Publishing sites NOT the
good one Publishing sites with workflow .
Now we want to have workflows in this and I came across this good article.
http://sharepointroot.com/2008/05/27/fix-sharepoint-workflows-after-deactivate/
this can help us but for one thing.. the subsites do not have "Workflow

Task now is to create the workflow History.
I noticed there is a feature in 12 Hive
