Hi,

I'm trying to install a second instance of SQL Server on a
clustered node, from Node B. I had to cancel the first
execution of setup installation program for different
reasons. After that, we haven't been able to delete /Binn
directory of that instance on Node B (sharing access
violation messages). It seems to be causing the following
errors on Node B (source installation). On Node A,
installation is successful.

Here is part of the log :

Can you help or suggest me something ?

Thanks,

* Are the files marked as readonly?
* Does something have them locked (maybe backup software or a virus
scanner)?
* Does a reboot of the node help?
* Can you try installing to a different directory? That doesn't help you
clean up the files from the second install, but it may get you past the
error.
* Does a manual delete of the files or directory give a more descriptive
error?

You may also want to try doing a thorough cleanup of the failed install:

Hi Cindy,

thank you for answer.
In fact, we did reboot both nodes and restarted the
cluster. From there, I was able to delete the directory
and proceed with successful installation. In conclusion, I
think what was causing these errors was that some files
and directories were marked as opened by the cluster or
nodeB after we cancelled the first installation.

Thanks,

Fred.
