AFAIK MSDE does not support cluster installation...

(my vb6+sql-dmo little try to provide MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 a visual
interface)

|||You can install MSDE as an instance (default or named) on each node of the
cluster but MSDE is not cluster aware so if you're thinking of a
mini-failover cluster, that's not gonna happen with MSDE.

Install fails with a "..path specified...is invalid"

After running through all the pre-install questions, it begins by saying that
it is performing operations on the cluster nodes and then fails with the
message:
"The path specified in a command line argument is invalid:
\\<servername>\admin$\<servername>_MSSQLSERVER.iss "
Any thoughts?
Either the administrative shares have been disabled or you are running under
an account that does not have access to the administrative shares on all
nodes of the cluster.
Sincerely,
Anthony Thomas

|||Actually I found the problem in a KB article. I had Terminal Services
installed on two of the nodes. SQL Clustering cannot be installed on a node
or nodes that have terminal services installed. Just thought I would post
that for anyone else how might run across the same problem.

Install fails on x64 cluster nodes.

I can't seem to install SQL Server 2005 (x64 version) on an x64 Win2k3 two node cluster.

I get all the way through the configuration and setup fails because it cannot start a task on the remote node. The error message indicates to check the task scheduler log file, which I have and I cannot find any 'errors' in the file.

Google/MSDN/Technet turn up nothing on multiple searches. Has anyone else run into this problem?

My installation account is a local admin on both machines, so is the sql cluster account. For the life of me I cannot figure out what's different for an x64 install vs 32bit....

Fixed the problem...

My account was not authoritative for the "Domain Services" group.

I have the same problem, can would appreciate it if anyone could elaborate on this "Domain Services" group. What do you mean by not "authoratative" for this group?

Thanks.

|||You will have to establish two new cluster groups, which will contain
dedicated IP addresses, network names, disks, and the SQL Server instance
for one, Analysis Services for the other.
You install SQL Server just like you normally would, but need to give it a
new unique Server Name and Instance Name.
Analysis Services on the other hand is truly clustered, whereas AS2000 only
used the general services resource.
