Cluster install fails

I'm running into issues installing SQL 2005 Enterprise on a Win2003 server. They seem to be related to missing rights. I've done a lot of research and have come up empty. Does anyone know why I'm getting these log entries? Thanks for any help.

Notification failed to send.

This was due to Registry policy settings on the domain. The permissions granted to the keys didn't include Windows 2003 groups such as Local Service and Network Service and actually shouldn't have existed in the domain policy in the first place. How they got there is still a mystery... A clean domain was created to compare against and all permissions were modified to match, then removed from the policy after propagation.|||

I am having the same issue, can you post which Registry Hive areas where affected by your Domain Policy? I wanted to limit the amount of access that I grant to allow the installation to complete.

Thanks!

Are you use any antivirus software. I found blocking actions in the logs of my McAfee VirusScan Enterprise.

Unfortunately I still have a same problem after uninstalling of the antivirus sw.
