Thannks in advance for an help on this.

I am attempting to set up SQL2K EE on Win2003 cluster
(active/passive).

I get this error msg "Setup failed to perform required
operations on the cluster nodes." during the install
process. I have looked through the newsgroups and
knowledge base for info on this error and have seen some
replies/articles however none of them seem to fix our
issue.

I have attached the sqlstp.log and sqlstp0.logs (from 1st
node). The only issues I could see in sqlstp.log are
listed below. As far as I could tell the install on the
2nd node when ok. No errors in its log.

12:00:34 C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SqlSetup\Bin\remsetup.exe
C:\WINDOWS\remsetup.ini
12:04:15 Process Exit Code: (2) The system cannot find the
file specified.

Problems in sqlstp0.log were (maybe related to issue noted
above)
