Error message when you run SQL Server Setup on a failover cluster: "Setup failed to perform required operations on the cluster nodes"

When you install a default or a named instance of SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 on a failover cluster, the setup might fail, and you receive the following error message:
This problem may also occur when you install SQL Server service packs on a default or a named instance of SQL Server.

You may also notice that the SqlstpX.log (suffixed with an incremental number) is not created on the inactive node of the failover cluster.

The inactive node of the failover cluster cannot access the SQL Server or SQL Server service pack installation folder.

To work around the problem, copy the SQL Server or SQL Server service pack installation folder to the local drive of the active node, and then share the installation folder.
