Hi all,
I am working through Bill Pearson's tutorial Stairway to MDX - STEP 1: Getting Started with MDX.
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Stairway+Series/71867/
I downloaded and installed AdventureWorks2008_SR4.exe
http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/37109
I see many databases added including AdventureWorksDW2008
But I do not see Adventure Works DW 2008R2 as Bill shows in his screen shot
I searched my c:\ for advent* and came back with many hits, but not Adventure Works DW 2008R2
Is this available as a separate download?
Did I miss something?
Thanks,
w

You downloaded the SQL 2008 version, which is different from the 2008 R2 version.

You can find the R2 download here:

How did you try to install it?

Using the attach command, or through a wizard?

Hi,

through an exe file.

So I guess the wizard.

Do you have a default instance, or only named instances?
