Hi,
we are trying to install "SQL-Server Version 8.00.780 SP3" on a Win2003
2-node Cluster. The Installation breaks, and in the sqlstp.log we find the
Message "remsetup.exe not find". In the Knowledge Base we find problems with
Terminal Service (no TS installed) and with special character in connection
names (the names are public and private). We have log in as a domain admin
and the sql engine and the agent are started with a domain admin.

Thank you for help.

Sound to me like your MS cluster isn't installed correctly
Have you carried out the tests suggested in the Cluster checklist
If you are happy with the installation try copying the remsetup.ini file from the user dir as mentioned in KB301520

How are you installing "SQL-Server Version 8.00.780 SP3"
on a Win2003 cluster? Do you have a slip-streamed SQL
Server with sp3?

Try these steps to see if you can resolve the problem:

1) Check and see if the machine is configured to disallow 8.3 name creation
by
checking the following registry key:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\FileSystem\N tfsDisable8dot3NameCreatio
n

A value of 1 means this is disabled and hence change it back to 0. This
requires a
reboot for it to take effect

OR

2) Change the TEMP and TMP User Environment Variables to a path that does
not have
spaces in them. For example: c:\temp. Use the SET command to verify the new
TEMP
location is in effect. This does not require a reboot
