The server administration programs and Windows SharePoint Services on this Web server are not compatible

I’m at what I hope to be the tail end of a long, and I mean loooong, drawn out Sharepoint Services Upgrade. I’ve been using 2.0 forever, and want to upgrade to 3.0 to support Office 2007, as well as to get on the newer version.

Well, I finally had a successful migration in my test environment! Yay! Now, I’ll just wipe it all out, try it again, just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke.

Here’s where I run into the problem. After uninstalling everything, and then re-installing Sharepoint Team Services 2, I received the error below:
