  Hi,

  I have tried the installation of SQL Server 2008 SP1 several times on Single node cluster on Windows 2008 and it's keep on failing with the below message:

  Instance INS1 overall summary:

  Final result: The patch installer has failed to update the shared features. To determine the reason for failure, review the log files.

  Exit code (Decimal): -2068709375

  Exit facility code: 1202

  Exit error code: 1

  Exit message: The directory 'f:\baee41947d8ca4d0626e10\' doesn't exist.

  Start time: 2010-08-24 13:08:12

  End time: 2010-08-24 13:08:50

  Requested action:

  I have tried manually extracting the SP1 to a temp folder on C drive and then launching setup.exe from there and it was successful.

  Is this by design in CLuster Windows 2008 node? Because I have installed SQL Server 2008 SP1 on Stand alone Windows 2008 with NO issues.

  Thanks

  Here is the solution:

  Extract the SP1 files to a temporary folder and then install SP1 from there.

  Thanks
