How can i install the SQL MSDE (sp3a) with a instance name
on a windows 2003 cluster server.

A custumer has a windows 2003 cluster server. When i run
our setup, with parameters like intsance=myprogram, the
software installs normaly on the server. Our client
software louks voor
%Server%\%InstanceName% across the network.

The software don't see the instance name.

Thanks.

Sounds like it is installing correctly. There is nothing special about
installing MSDE on a node of a cluster. Can you use OSQL on the server you
installed MSDE on to connect to the SQL Server? Have you used svrnetcn.exe
to enable the protocols for MSDE? Have you applied SP3 to the MSDE
installation? TCP/IP is not available on Windows 2003 until SP3 is
installed on any version of SQL Server 2000.

Yes, the software installs correctly. (I don't see event
in the logs)
We used msde 2000 with sp3.
Yes i have used the svrnetcn.exe to configure the tcp/ip
protocol, set port to 1433.

I haven't used Osql to test the connection.
I test with the sql enterprice manager, to connect the
msde on the 2003 server. This don't work.

When i install the same msde software on a nomal Windows
2003 server everything works fine.

What else can i do?
What can there be wrong?
Thanks for your reply.
