Installing SQl2005 into on Win2003 2 node cluster, at the very end of the
setup receive a message 'Remote Setup failed'. Referred to some sql logs
and found this;
Error: Action "LaunchLocalBootstrapAction" threw an exception during
execution. Error information reported during run:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\setup.exe"
finished and returned: 1603
Aborting queue processing as nested installer has completed
Message pump returning: 1603

I've seen some similar errors on the web and suggestions about the Task
Scheduler being started on both nodes, but I ensured these were both started
before the install. SQL2005 does seem to be ok on the node1 where the
install was made, but fails when trying to failover to node 2.

Any help would be much appreciated here.

Thanks
Darren

Hi Dazza,

There are numerous services that need to be running in order for a remote
install to work. Believe it or not, one of these is even the Print Spooler
(not 100% why yet).

Did you run the Security Configuration Wizard on the server that is failing?
If so, you may need to check that all default services are running.

I am trying to locate a list of the key services and will post them as soon
as I find them.
