Failing Cluster install SQLBROWSERACCOUNT

Hello<br /><br />Has anybody come across an issue when installing a SQL Server 2005 Failover cluster. The installation is run as interactive, not a silent install using template.ini.<br /><br />The installation fails on the installation of the Database Server stating that...<br /><br />'SQL Server Setup has determined that the following account properties are not specified: 'SQLBROWSERACCOUNT'..... reference to template.ini<br /><br />All references that I have seen to this message are related to silent installations using template.ini<br /><br />In SQL Log file<br /><br />Property(S): SOURCEDIR = C:ServersSetupProperty(S): SourcedirProduct = {14AD8FEC-4128-4133-A49D-66A7F14651A2}<br />Property(S): InstallNgenTicks = 20000<br />Property(S): AGTSCMACCOUNT = XMERCERsvcglobalagtsql<br />Property(S): SQLSCMACCOUNT = XMERCERsvcglobalsql<br />Property(S): DebugClsid.CC1A8C58_27D1_4D38_BF1B_C0A5CBB90616 = {B4A67A5B-6B8E-49FB-8B60-D8CFA2CDAEA6}<br />Property(S): SQLBROWSERACCOUNT = NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM<br />Property(S): ProductToBeRegistered = 1<br />MSI (s) (80:70) [00:40:04:447]: Note: 1: 1708 <br />MSI (s) (80:70) [00:40:04:447]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Installation failed.<br /><br />In Core Log file<br /><br />Clustered feature detected: SQL_Engine<br />Clustered feature detected: SQL_FullText<br />Loaded DLL:Crogram FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup Bootstrapsqlsval.dll Version:2005.90.1399.0<br /> Source File Name: datastorecachedpropertycollection.cpp<br />Compiler Timestamp: Fri Jul 29 01:13:49 2005<br /> Function Name: CachedPropertyCollection::findProperty<br />Source Line Number: 130<br />----------------------------------------------------------<br />Failed to find property "IPResources" {"VirtualServerInfo", "", "LABSQLCLUSTER"} in cache<br /> Source File Name: datastorecachedpropertycollection.cpp<br />Compiler Timestamp: Fri Jul 29 01:13:49 2005<br /> Function Name: VirtualServerInfo.IPResources<br />Source Line Number: 113<br />----------------------------------------------------------<br />Failed to collect property "IPResources" {"VirtualServerInfo", "", "LABSQLCLUSTER"}<br />Notify package to begin: 0<br />******* Got commit request from MSI *******<br />Waiting for remote setup(s) to get ready to commit<br />Breaking wait state and aborting package due to cancel code received: 1602<br />Remote setup(s) are ready<br />Notify package to commit: 1602<br />Aborting commit due to exception thrown by listeners: <br />sqls::WindowsInstallerMessageCallback<br />sqls::HostSetupPackageInstallerSynch:<img src='/community/emoticons/emotion-4.gif' alt='' />reCommit<br /><br /> Error Code: 0x80070642 (1602)<br />Windows Error Text: User cancelled installation.<br /><br /> Source File Name: remotepackageenginehostsetuppackageinstallersynch.cpp

Thanks for your response Satya, however this is an interactive installation. My understanding is that an interactive install should not be using the template.ini file.?

Yes, you are right it should not use .ini for regular installation...

Are you using the installaion files from the network share?

I am using a local copy of the installation media copied to C:Server & c:Tools

Thanks for your comment

Thanks for your reply...

During installation only the SQL Service Account and SQL Agent Account are defined, I am not sure where else the Browser Service Account permissions would be defined prior to installation with an interactive install.? The Service Accounts defined have Local Administrator privileges on both nodes in the cluster...

The following is from SQL Log for install on remote node

Hi,
did you ever find an answer to this issue?
I have hit exactly the same problem whilst doing an instal for a failover cluster.
Grateful for any advice.....
