Re: Error installing SQL 2005 on a cluster

Which drive letters do you have on each node? Which ones are local disks
and which are in the shared array? Which disks are configured in the
cluster group you are specifying for the failover cluster instance?

I am installing SQL 2005 on a two node 2003 SP1 cluster and get an error
after selecting components and I have narrowed it down to Shared Tools.
The
error is:

"The drive specified cannot be used for program location. Program files
must be installed on a valid local disk available on all cluster nodes.
The
valid values are"

The help icon gives a LinkID of 20467, but I can't find any info on that.

I'm installing to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server, which the Data
Files feature seems happy to install to. If only Shared Tools wasn't a
required component!

Anyone run into this or know what can cause it?
