After running through all the pre-install questions, it begins by saying that
it is performing operations on the cluster nodes and then fails with the
message:

"The path specified in a command line argument is invalid:
\\<servername>\admin$\<servername>_MSSQLSERVER.iss"

Any thoughts??

Either the administrative shares have been disabled or you are running under
an account that does not have access to the administrative shares on all
nodes of the cluster.

Actually I found the problem in a KB article. I had Terminal Services
installed on two of the nodes. SQL Clustering cannot be installed on a node
or nodes that have terminal services installed. Just thought I would post
that for anyone else how might run across the same problem.
