The following error occurs when installing LiteSpeed for SQL Server version 6.0 on a cluster server:
Installation of the following nodes failed. Check the WMIInstall log for more information.
Installation failed for node NODE_NAME with a return code of 2147749890
Error may include: WBEM_E_NOT_FOUND 2147749890 (0x80041002)
Error could occur on a cluster server if the required Windows component "WMI Windows Installer Provider" has not been installed on other nodes of the cluster.
Install the required windows component "WMI Windows Installer Provider" and reinstall LiteSpeed.
"WMI Windows Installer Provider" can be located under Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components | Management and Monitoring Tools"
It’s also needed to automatically install the MSI on the other cluster nodes. So installing it on the remote nodes will fix the issue. The requirement is listed under the Microsoft Cluster Installation section of the LiteSpeed Install Guide.
The installation guide does mention WMI Windows Installer Provider is required for the Remote Deploy function, but not for a regular installation.
