When installing the Sept 64bit Enterprise CTP I get an error when it starts installing the Client Tools.
The log contains the following:

Sept 64bit Enterprise CTP Client Tools issue
LucasM
I replicated this today and I got identical failure by installing the .Net Framework seperately from the SQL Setup. I uninstalled the installation using SQL removal tool in Setup Tools, then uninstalled .Net Framework 2.0.
Finally I ran setup and let it install the framework itself and it was all successful, if you look at the error it shows the setup trying to add .Net install log files which, if you installed seperately, wont be there for SQL Setup to add to the cab.
I hope that solves your problem.

It appears to be because the client tools are not part of the servers iso image.
