Fullt Text Search fails in a 2 node cluster

Hi!
I have a problem with Full Text Search in a clustered enviroment.
The Resource Fullt Text Search will not come online, it fails and giving me
a error in the log that says
"An Error occurred during the online operation for instance <SQL Server
Fulltext (UTB2)>: 80070002 - the system cannot find the file specified."
I′ve tried to reinstall Full Text by reading the KB 827449, but when i get
to the part where i should use the command "ftsetup.exe" i get a error in the
application log saying:
"Faulting application ftsetup.exe, version 2000.80.2039.0 faulting module
msvcr71.dll, version 7.10.3052.4, fault adress 0x00014d5c."
I also get a similar error concerning msvcrt.dll version 7.0.3790.1830.
We are using Windows 2003 SP1 and SQL 2000 Enterprise edition SP4
The strange about this is that right now there are 4 instances on the same
node where 2 of them has full text online and working but the 2 others has
the error mentioned above, so as i can understand there are no problem with
the nodes but instead i believe that the instances is not aware of Microsoft
Search. therefore as the KB article says i need to run the command
FTSETUP.EXE to configure the instances with Microsoft Search.
Right now i have no other ideas, fearing that the only thing to solve this
is to reinstall the whole SQL instance :o( wich is nothing i′m looking
forward to.
So please if you have any ideas, fill me in...

Look in the FTData folder for each instance for files called Clus0.0,
clus0.1 etc. If those are not there, you may want to consider calling PSS
on this, as clustered FT issues are very difficult to troubleshoot.

|||Yes the FDATA folder exist and i have also granted both the SQL and the
Cluster Service Account full control to the folder. Also checked permissions
in the registry. It looks OK everywhere but it fails on the DLLs mentioned
before.

Apperently this kind of problems ususally result in a re-installation of the
SQL instance, but Daniel thought that maybe someone has solved this matter in
another way.
And thats what i′m hoping for :o)

uninstall/re-install.
Download filemon from sysinternals to get the exact file and path it is
looking for and go from there...
