I have a clustered SQL installed but never added the
Replication feature along with the initial setup.

Now I ned to configure replication and thought I could
just go back to the origianl setup files, modify the
installation, add the componenets I need....and I'd be
done. No such luck!

When I go through the setup diologue the option to modify
an existing installation is -not- available and I can't
figure out why.

If someone can help me out I'd sure appreciate it.....
TIA,
Jay

After you install a virtual instance of SQL Server on your computer, you cannot add the SQL Server components to your virtual instance of SQL Server by running the Setup
program. To work around this problem, you must remove the virtual instance of SQL Server from your computer and then reinstall the virtual instance of SQL Server by
using a custom installation.

This is documented in Microsoft Knowledge Base article

You cannot add SQL Server components to an existing virtual instance of SQL Server by running the Setup program
