reinstallation error

I upgrade my sql box to a totally new server now running sql2005. Novell
said I need to reinstall the asset management program again. So I am
installing the asset 7.5 inventory program againon a windows 2003 server.
Everything is going through fine until I get to when it goes to my sql2005
box then it says "server type mismatch error. This type of conversion is
not supported" . What does this mean and how can I get by it.
