I'm have an error when installing sql 2005 from cd/netowrk and run setup, it installs the prerequisites, native client app
I select just the database option, enter default instance or instance name and it installs for a moment then gives me this.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard. You may review the setup logs and/or click the help button for more information.
Details
Product: SQL Server
ID: 50000
Source: setup.rll
Version: 10.0
Component: SQL Server Native Client
Message: A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file '%.*ls'.
Explanation
An attempt was made to install (or update) SQL Server Native Client on a computer where SQL Server Native Client is already installed, and where the existing installation was from an MSI file that was not named sqlncli.msi.
User Action
To resolve this error, uninstall the existing version of SQL Server Native Client. To prevent this error, do not install SQL Server Native Client from an MSI file that is not named sqlncli.msi.

I would suggest you follow the suggestion to unistall the native client and try again.

I am experiencing the same problem. I have tried removing the piece recommended by Microsoft without success. I would welcome any other suggestions.

Have you been through this list:

The splitting of install folders into 'Servers' and 'tools' fixes many installation errors from my experience (if you are copying from network/msdn install files)

Thanks for the suggestion but I was already using install broken up that way with this cluster so that apparently is not the issue.
