check the cluster events for any errors. Have you perfomed a cluster validation after adding the new node to the Windows cluster but before attempting to run the SQL Server installer.

The error message is implying that a SQL Server instance with the name (or more strictly the guid) you want is already installed.
1) Are you doing an ADDNODE action install, or a INSTALLFAILOVERCLUSTER action install. To add a node to an existing cluster you need to use ADDNODE
2) Have you previously installed SQL Server on the passive node and not cleaned it out fully? If there is any doubt about this my advice is to reinstall Windows on the passive cluster so you have a clean and known starting point.
