    Its still running.

    In the Task Manager "scenarioengine.exe" seems to be running and using the most memory.Not sure what that exe does.

    No its not sharing any of the host resources.The version is 7.1.4 build 385536

    Is there a possibility that this is happening due to corrupt installation media ?

    There is some logging in the install bootstrap folder. For me this was C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log and then in the most recent folder there's a Detail.txt file.

    I found my issue(s) by searching for "error" and\or "warning". This has helped me resolve several issues.

    Thanks.

    There is absolutely nothing logged in there for that error.In fact before posting the issue on this forum I had thoroughly went through the installation steps multiple times to see if there is any logging done.

    I first thought the issue might be because of network binding which came as a warning during the cluster validation.Though I fixed that warning the installation still fails to move ahead.
