I've gotten my cluster up and running, but I'm having difficulty configuring
a program to run within the cluster. When I go through the cluster
application wizard through the cluster administrator snap-in, I don't know
what to enter for the paths of the program.

Can anyone give me an example of how to do this?

What type of resource are you configuring? A Generic Application or a
Generic Service?

Here's a couple of quick examples that I like to use:

HA Notepad
-------------
Create a file called "test.txt" on one of your physical disk resources. I'll
use Q: for this example.

In the generic application parameters screen, type the following:

Command Line: notepad.exe "q:\test.txt"
Current Directory: q:\

Check allow application to interact with desktop so you can see the
application.

Finish and start the resource. It should open your test.txt file and you can
add text, save it, then fail it over.

HA Solitaire
------------
Copy sol.exe to one of your physical disk resources. I'll use Q: for this
example.

In the generic application parameters screen, type the following:

Command Line: q:\sol.exe
Current Directory: q:\

Check allow application to interact with desktop so you can see the
application.

Finish and start the resource. It should open solitaire on your desktop
whenever it fails over.

BTW, if you access the cluster node through terminal services, you won't see
the applications unless you connect to /console.

Regards,
John

OK, then you have to enter the path to the executabel and the path must be
the same on both nodes.

Review this as an example of using notepad
