Install fails on SQL2k5 because no IIS on Server

We have a new cluster that we are trying to install SQL 2k5 enterprise on and the security requirements will not allow us to install IIS on the same server as SQL. Is there a way around the requirement of having IIS installed on the server with SQL 2k5?It's not a requirement, unless you need RS on the cluster. You'll get a warning early on, but Setup will proceed if IIS is missing.|||The setup just closes itself down when it is doing the check for server components. There is no error at all. When we check the log file there is a statement about IIS not being installed or is disabled.|||Ugh. Well, the crash is likely due to another cause. Are you referring to summary.txt, or one of the detailed logs? If the former, I would proceed by looking at ...core.log and/or core(local).log. But at this stage there aren't going to be very many logs so check everything there for clues.
