Hi experts.
One of my actual production environments is a Failover two-node cluster, SQL Server 2005 SP3 on Windows Server 2003 R2. Recently, the node 2 was failed, so I formatted a new machine to add the new node, but itfailed with the following error: “Adding nodes to the Virtual Server definition using a newer version of Setup is not allowed.”
I have searching across the web for a solution but I can’t find it.
The Summary file “Summary.txt” are:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06
==============================
OS Version : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 3790)

List of log files:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files\SQLSetup0025_CLSANRECAUDB01_Core(Local).log
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files\SQLSetup0025_CLSANRECAUDB01_Datastore.xml

C:\DOCUME~1\Admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\2\SCA11.dmp
One point of my attention, it’s that the Product Version that appears on this summary file corresponding a 9.00.1399.06 that is to say, a RTM version, not SP3 (9.00.4035).
Based on this, I went to the path where the files of installation are (ARPWrapper.exe), "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap" and I 've found that these files contain a different version of what I have currently installed. For example, in properties of ARPWrapper.exe the version of this is 2005.90.1399.0 The same goes for the rest of the files in that folder:
Microsoft.SqlServer.AnalysisServices.UpgradeAdvisor.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.BestPracticesAnalyzer.UpgradeAdvisor.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.DTS.UpgradeAdvisor.dll
setup.exe
…
…
…
And so on.
So, the question is:
Is it possible that the solution is to replace these files with the corresponding version, in this case the version 2005.90.4035.0(SP3) and continue with the installation? Has anyone done this before?
Please , any help is welcome.
