Re: Can't install components on 2003 SP1 R2 upgrade

Hi Jabez,

I have already tried a second re-install with the same results. I've looked
in c:\windows and there isn't a windows_r2setup.log, so I searched the whole
of the C: drive for .log files relating to R2 and there weren't any at all.

There is a registry entry called r2setup in:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\" however so
something seems to have happened.

The install appears to have gone smoothly, with no errors or messages. Just
to re-iterate, incase it makes a difference, I am installing R2 on the
passive server within a 2 server active/passive cluster.

Hi Steve,

Let me suggest that you try popping in the R2 CD and re-run the setup.exe
file. See if you are able to get it to re-install.

Also, please ZIP and upload the log file windows_r2setup.log which is
located in C:\Windows

Hi Jabez,

Yes I rebooted but the key isn't present in the registry?

The install went okay as far as I can tell though.

Hi Steve,

Please try rebooting after installing R2 Setup.

Also please check the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\R2Setup

Check if you have the key "R2BuildNumber"

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have a Server 2003 Enterprise SP1 Active/Passive cluster and I've
just
installed R2 onto the passive as a test.

I've successfully installed R2 but when I go into Add Windows
Components
then Management and Monitoring the R2 tools aren't there. I am also
unable
to
find anything new in Other Network File and Print Services.

Is the cluster causing a problem or is there something else I'm
missing?

Thanks in advance,

Steve.
