I get an exit code of (0) when I am trying to add an additional node to an instance of SQL 2005 in a cluster

When i try to add an additional node via the change option in add/remove programs i get and error that tells me Setup Failed to start on the remote machine. Check the task scheduler log on the remote machine. When i look at the scheduled tasks log i see
"SQL Server Remote Setup .job" (setup.exe)
Finished 8/7/2008 4:37:57 PM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (0).
I have tried it on serveral of the servers in my cluster and all get the same errors the Task scheduler is running as is the encryption and i am not doing anything via RDP and there are no RDP session open on any of the servers. I am also using my Domain Admin account to run the install.

I guess that is good and bad good that it thinks it was successfull but bad that i don't have an error exit code to work with since the install errored out and i still don't have a second node added.
Here are other exit codes that i found on one of my other servers
"SQL Server Remote Setup .job" (setup.exe)
      Finished 8/7/2008 4:12:21 PM
      Result: The task completed with an exit code of (80).
"SQL Server Remote Setup .job" (setup.exe)
      Started 8/7/2008 4:57:27 PM
"SQL Server Remote Setup .job" (setup.exe)
      Finished 8/7/2008 4:57:27 PM
      Result: The task completed with an exit code of (11174).

I guess i was a little hasty to say i was getting an exit code of 0 while there are a couple of zeros in the logs there are a lot more of the 80s then anything.
