problems installing Backup Exec 10d on Microsoft SQL server 2005

I'm having problems installing Veritas Backup Exec 10d on a Windows 2003 server standard edition and Microsoft SQL server 2005.
I have seen a hotfix for SQL 2005 support on the veritas site but this only applies existing installations.
I want to install Backup Exec on a new fresh Windows 2003 R2 standard edition server with SQL server 2005 standard edition as the Backup Exec database engine.
I  want avoid installing a MSDE 2000 on the same machine.

The problem is that the installation doesn't recognise the SQL 2005 during setup and therefore whant's to install MSDE 2000.
I've searched everywhere but couldn't find an answer. I think it should work because Backup Exec 10d has SQL 2005 support.

Thanks in advance!
