BE cluster aware upgrade from 8.5 to 9.1

Hi we have now decided to upgrade from 8.5 to 9.1 read all the documentationabout uninstalling from inactive nodes and installing on the local host initiatornode, however we have a version of Exec view installed and everytime theinstall of 9.1 fails due to errors with the ECM. We have tried to removethe ECM but it cant find the original install temp files so that fails. Wehave removed all registry keys reporting ECM entries and it still fails.We decided to remove all Veritas software and do a clean install but stillit fails, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.John
