Install Database Engine

  • Succesfully installed SQL server 2005 on Win-XP (using IIS) but can't get any database running (e.g.: AdventureWorks)

    What/how shall I do/it?

    thank you in advance

  • The current download of AdventureWorks database is in the link below, dowload what you need based on your operating system and install it. Then go to the data subfolder of Microsoft SQL Server folder in programs verify the MDF and LDF, go to Management Studio and right click all tasks and attach the database before you can use it. Hope this help.

  • i'm getting an error:

    The project could not be deployed to the 'localhost/AdventureWorks' server because of the following connectivity problems : A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. To verify or update the name of the target server, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server.

    i'm using SSAS to deploy/process this database on my localhost but instead, i'm getting this error. and have absolutely no clue whatsoever what to do 🙂

    thanks for any help

  • I have explained this many times the AdventureWorks database are separate downloads, you need to download the BI database in the link I provided and again you need to attach it. Then you still need to download the application samples and install that, then you just go to 90 folder in Microsoft SQL Server in programs look for the SSAS samples and double click the solution file it is that simple.
