A little help with clustered SQL server setup.

Guys,
I keep getting errors while trying to install SQL 2K5 server on Win2K3 x64
R2 SP2 cluster.
The setup sequence was
1. Install SQL client/tools on all nodes
2. Install first instance of SQL server
3. Install SQL SP2 for client/tools on all nodes
4. Install SQL server SP2 for instance
5. Install second instance of SQL server
This step keeps failing no matter what I tried.
I did similar setup before in “slightly” different order and it works fine:
1. Install SQL client/tools on all nodes
2. Install first instance of SQL server
3. Install second instance of SQL server
4. Install third instance of SQL server
5. Install SQL SP2 for client/tools on all nodes
6. Install SQL server SP2 for all instances
With my current setup I don’t want (actually I can not) follow same order.
What if the first instance is already in production AND SP2 is applied
already, and then I need to install a new instance?
Anyway, setup keeps failing on remote nodes with this error:
(I tried both, GUI and command line with exact same result)
Running: LoadResourcesAction at: 2007/4/22 22:22:59
Complete: LoadResourcesAction at: 2007/4/22 22:22:59, returned true

Is the Cluster service account the same on all nodes?
