RE: 0xc0140045 Error

I also ran across this error when attempting to join a cluster.  My
solution 
was just the opposite.  Troubleshooting a different issue I had installed
AC 
2000 without the Event & Perf logging.  I was trying to join a Cluster
that 
had Event & Perf logging installed.  Once I had installed Event & Perf 
logging I was able to join the Cluster without issue.
