I have installed this on our Test Farm and it installed fine. The only difference between the 2 farms is the number of servers. I also made sure I was installing as the administrator.

Hi dspayne,

How many webservers are there in the environment where the install is returning this error?

Does the admin account you are installing with on the other farm have permissions to create DB's in the target SQL DB?

Hi Ted, Thanks for getting back to me so quick. I just found the answer. I was using a url to our WFE's that are load balanced.

When installing on load balanced servers, the url of the site needs to resolve to the local server IP address and not the load balancer address.  That allows the requests being sent from the installer to be directed to the local machine and not the LB address.  If it gets routed to the LB address, it causes a machine hop and authentication fails.

The easiest way for this is to edit the Windows hosts file, but you will need to read this KB on configuring the BackConnectionHostNames http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861.
