Trouble installing SQL 2005 on Windows Server 2003

[kgreer]

HELP!!!

This is an Emergency.

I am trying to install SQL 2005 on a Windows 2003 machine.

I am receiving this error when installing:

SQL Server Setup is unable to run. Either the owning node or all nodes that are currently part of the virtual server are not available. Review any SCC failures and validate that all nodes are online.


I am not able to find any information. Please help.

Did one of the nodes fail the pre-check? Sometimes SQL server will detect that a node needs to be rebooted or something else. I've only tried to install it in a cluster when I saw that message. If this is a standalone install be sure you aren't checking the cluster install option.

Sounds like you are trying to install to a cluster and one of your nodes is down. Check the cluster adminsitrator, it should tell you what can't be found.
