We have a 4 node Windows 2003 cluster with 3 Instances of
SQL Server 2000 already installed. I am trying to
install a 4th node on the cluster and the install fails
right after I enter the Virtual IP for the 4th Instance.
I'm using all the same settings as the first 3
Instances. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

go to task manager, click on the processess tab, right click on setup.exe
and select set priority. Then give it high or real time priority. Watch cpu
utilization and memory consumption to see if this boost doesn't get over the
hang.

That didn't help. I don't get setup in task manager. I
do get Setupsql and _INS5576._MP and I boosted their
priority. The server never went above 10% in processor
and minimal memory was ever consummed.

It actually turns out an issue found in:

This fixed the problem.
