Hi,
We have a cluster with several sql2008 R2 instances and recently we had to add one more. But now when we try to apply a service pack or patch on that instance on one the same node the installation fails. They all fail with the same error:

Final Parameter Values
Note that on the other cluster node we have no problem at all but patching one side and the other is a no go.
