SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Advisor error message: NO SQL Server instance installed on target computer.

Hello I just installed SQL 2014 Upgrade Advisor which seems to work on one of my SQL 2008 stand alone machines. But when trying to point to a SQL 2008 cluster machine I get the following error:

NO SQL Server instance installed on target computer.

I am sure I'm putting in the correct instance name which is the default MSSQLSERVER. Anything I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

Never mind looks like it's working now as it might've been my Remote Sessions after logging out & back in, thanks.
