Failed to install failover cluster in Server 2008 Enterprise x86

When executing the command "start /w ocsetup failovercluster-core", it returned "The specified Windows component could not be found: FailoverCluster-Core".
The "wmic os get operatingsystemsku" returns "OperatingsystemSKU 14".
Very puzzling, why can't I install Failover Cluster in server core?

type

Hi Darshana,
PowerShell is not available with Windows Server 2008 Core installation.
Hi Chung,
The feature name is case sensitive, you can run start /w ocsetup FailoverCluster-Core.
You can also check the following guides.

Thanks.
I remember now, the role name is case sensitive when using ocsetup.
I also installed the PowerShell 2.0 into this Windows 2008 Enterprise server but I am going to run the demo in class using ocsetup, not PowerShell, so the former must work.
