Hi Sri,
The installatin methods that I mention are to allow the installation of your application so that it is not aware of the physical node names at all.
The changes that I recommended to the GenericService cluster resource alters the way that the cluster starts the service so that the service does not see the phyical node name either but instead the service believes it is running directly on a server that is named with the virtual server name.
If you application installs as a service, then you will need to install it on all servers in your environment. If you install your application just on the first server then the service will only exist on that physical server and not on any additional servers in the cluster. There is no way around doing the installation multiple times unless you manually register the service (and other items like dlls, environment settings and registry keys) that the application is using on the other nodes.
Thanks,
Wally
