Hi guys I am having problems with installing components on the 2nd node, I get the message "No common components have been installed. To add a component, click the Add component hyperlink" from add and remove programs. When I click to install a new component I get the following error durring setup. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Have you followed the steps as per this http://www.sql-server-performance.com/articles/clustering/cluster_sql_server_2005_p1.aspx article?
Yes I followed the steps but unfortunately node 2 does not have that option to install common components. By the way I'm running Ent Ed. Evaluation copy.
I don;t see any reason for why it should fail installing components when you use EE Evaluation copy, I guess http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919394 will refer few issues. By default in the cluster the client components will be installed.
