Install Full-Text on Existing SQL Server 2005 Cluster

I need to install the full-text engine on an existing SQL Server 2005
cluster virtual instance but can't seem to figure out how. Any ideas?

|||Unfortunately, the only change operation I can do from Add/Remove programs
for the cluster instance is either add or remove a node from the cluster.
There are no options to change what is installed.
I've looked at some of the command line maintenance features, but haven't
been able to figure out the correct command to issue.
Any other ideas or info?
|||In case anyone else runs into this, I did open a support case with Microsoft
and they concluded that this option was "left out" of the cluster change
options. They are going to place a feature enhancement request with the
product team. I'll update the thread if any new information arises in the
near future.
|||Thanks for the info.

Install Error with Sept CTP

Hi all,
I am running into install error when prompted "PLEASE INSERT DISC
2" when I am installing with virtual drive using Daemon Tools instead of from
CD or DVD. I am a Universal MSDN Download Subscriber, but apparently MSDN don't support install issue with beta version of their product. I am stuck with not able to use this app, and any help is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
-Lawrence
Lawrence, A possible problem is that you didn't notice that some builds of Sept CTP come as two separate images - Server and Tools. I assume you downloaded Server only. Andrew Watt MVP - InfoPath wrote in message news:4aa66c60-7142-4d86-ba1c-77895be5c54d@.discussions.microsoft.com...

|||To be clear, there are two files you need to download:

Disk1: en_SQL2005_DEV_Servers_Sept2005.iso
Disk2: en_SQL2005_DEV_Tools_Sept2005.iso

You need both of them.|||Great! I did not know Tools ISO would also be needed together with the Server ISO. Typically installation uses one ISO, and Server contains all necessary components. Was that mentioned in MSDN that Tools is also required? This has caused considerable confusion.

Thanks for your assistance!

Installation - Only help file installs, No virtual directories or

Hi,
I am trying to install Reporting Services on Windows 2003 server (with no
service pack). Initially it says Visual Studio is not present which is fine,
i press next, then it goes into installation and there are no prompts for rs
components, sql database creation etc. once installation is finished, only
thing i can see is the reporting services help file in the menu. there are no
virtual directories.
Please help.
thanks
dhariwalWeird. I have two installations on 2003. Do you have IIS running. In 2003
you need to configure it to have asp.net applications supported. 2003 comes
much more locked down. You are correct that you can just ignore VS not being
present.

I also have Reporting Services running on 2003 at other customers and it
works like a charm. This is the first time i am stuck like this with RS. IIS
is up and running as well as asp.net, i have got front page extension
installed as well (do u think extensions are the culprit), one thing i
noticed is that there is default website as well as Microsoft Sharepoint
Administration. Do you think sharepoint is throwing this thing down.
If i re-install IIS, will it make any difference.
thanks
