Failed to modify security permissions on WMI namespace

Hello everyone,
I am trying to install a SQL server 2005 on a cluster but It does not succeed.
At the end of the installation in Configuring components ... of SQL Server
database services step, I recive the following message :
"SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on WMI namespace
\\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\Instance Name. To proceed, verify
that the account and domain running SQL server Setup exist, that the account
running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that the WMI
namespace exists on the destination drive."
I verified the points mentioned in this message and everything is right but
I can not finish the installation.
Has anybody experienced something similar?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Juanjo
Since you have provided no details, it would be very difficult for anyone to
provide anything but the most generic responses.
You might want to post the output of the setup logs to determine a more
precise failure issue.
Sincerely,
Anthony Thomas

|||Anthony, thank you very much for your suggestion.
Here I enclosed a piece of my failed SQL 2005 installation. In this piece of
log appears the error I received (LEGATO is the instance name):

Things I would check:
The account you logged in as has administrator privileges on both nodes.
That you typed in this account as the account with remote access.
That the default User Access Rights have not been overridden by Domain Level
GPOs.
Make sure you have sufficient free space on the system partition on all
nodes.
What version of the OS and SS2K5 are you installing?
Verify that the Local Domain Groups required by the setup program exist in
AD or the installation account has permission to create them during the
installation.

|||I finally could have this SQL 2005 cluster installed. The cluster shared disk
from our SAN were not properly configured. These have been recreated.
Thank you very much for your help.
