Hi all,

I'm testing the installation of SQL Server 2005 clustering on a
Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster. The Server 2008 cluster setup
went smoothly and I set up a cluster service for the SQL disks. The
installation options for a SQL cluster are all accepted and everything
looks good till I get to the actual installation.

There, the setup begins, but immediately the status for all products
is a red X and states "The installation was cancelled by the user." I
checked permissions for all accounts and groups used in setup and made
sure nothing is happening on either server at the time of setup. There
are no other databases or SQL instances running on either server.

Any help would be much appreciated. We're getting close to giving up
on this.

Thanks,
Josh

Have you created firewall rules for SQL and clustering?

Try running the security wizard and see if it create the rules for
clustering. Once SQL is installed you may need to rerun the wizard to
create rules for SQL, or you can create them manually.
