Good evening,
I posted this in the "Other" forum and did not get any replies, not much going on there all day. So I am cross-posting this here:

I have a very basic question about installing the sample/training databases named AdventureWorks, AdventureWorksDW, and AdventureWorksAS.

My home PC had many hardware problems during the year and I had to re-install the SQL Server 2005 components several times, including the sample databases noted above. I am currently training/studying Business Intelligence on my own. Anyway, it seems the last time I did the installation, I may have missed installing the "AS" database.

Last evening I was searching the Microsoft download site and could not find a download for the "AS" database. So I took out the CD that came with the text, to get the DB off of it. Went through the initial installation screens and finally got to the point where I could select the installation of Books Online, the Sample DBs, etc. So I selected just the installation of the AdventureWorksAS database.
The installation process came back with a message indicating that I was not changing/installing anything, and it finished.

Any suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading!
