Hi Ben, I would try installing vixie-cron which offers the same capabilities under EL5 as cronie under EL6:
CentOS5 machine: $ cat /etc/redhat-release ; rpm -q --whatprovides vixie-cron CentOS release 5.8 (Final) vixie-cron-4.1-81.el5 CentOS6 machine: $ cat /etc/redhat-release ; rpm -q --whatprovides vixie-cron CentOS release 6.2 (Final) cronie-1.4.4-7.el6.x86_64 However I don't know if the PE installer explicitly requires (cronie) or just what it provides (vixie-cron).
