Cluster Installation Failure

Thanks in advance for any help.
A SQL 2005 Failover Clustering installation (from the RTM disks) failed on
Database Services. Please see messages below. Windows cluster server name
is COMDEVDB01 (Windows 2003), primary node = COMDEVCLU01, secondary node =
COMDEVCLU02. SQL cluster virtual name = COMDEVSQLCLU, named instance =
COMDEVPROD. I installed from COMDEVCLU01. Should I install from COMDEVDB01
while COMDEVCLU01 is the active node (i.e., I will be on COMDEVCLU01)?
Earlier install failed on SQLBrowser errors and rolled back. Before the
cluster install two non-clustered SQL 2005 named instances had been installed
on COMDEVCLU01 and SP2 had been applied (both current versions = 3152).
After the SQLBrowser failure I installed a non-clustered SQL 2005 named
instance on COMDEVCLU02 with Database Services and Integration Services (also
version 3152). After that, the cluster install on COMDEVCLU01 failed with
these errors but did not rollback.
Should I try to install SP2 for the SQL cluster from COMDEVCLU01?
Can I "complete" this installation (save it) or will I have to uninstall and
re-install?
Should I uninstall all SQL Server instances on COMDEVCLU01 and install the
clustered instance first?

Michael:
I will be posting a similar question to yours entitled "Failed SQL Cluster
Advice." That hopefully will get answered as well.
In the meantime you mentioned RTM Disks. Are these CDs and did your install
fail when you put in Disk 2 "Tools" This is my issue and I have googled to
find that this is a known issue and the resolution is copy both disks to a
common path.
Was this your issue as well?
Thanks, emagidson

|||Sorry I dropped out of the discussion but I wanted to post the question
before I took a few days off and I'm just now catching up. I have printed
your exchange with Geoff and I will review that in more detail.
I did not have the "2nd CD" problem but the information about uninstalling
may prove very useful.
Thanks again, and I'll check back in tomorrow or Thursday.
