How can I get Northwind into SQL Server 2005 Development?
In working through Visual Studio 2005 Pro Walkthroughs the next one needs Northwind. Is it straight forward to add in?
Many thanks for the reply.
Will give it a try during the day.
Just slightly puzzled why a MS Walkthrough does not show the included AdventureWorks but will try that too to get started.

Performance Monitor Counter Check Failed Error.
Had to stop the install twice at the point it verified what components were to be included as
the docs were not going to be installed. Resolved the issue.
Now it won't pass the system config test because the registry is not the way it wants it.
I look up the messages and the only solution is to hack the registry and risk my system.
This is nuts.
Isn't there some way to restart cleanly without hacking registry keys ?
Help.
I know it isn't a nice solution, but this thread sums up the registry changes to fix this problem. Sorry for the hassle. The thread discusses the released article to solve this, as well as some gotchas that aren't covered in the doc.

No data base tools or docs were installed, so I ran the install again
and it says they are already there.. They are not.
I installed 2005 dev on my laptop with no issues and the installed dirs and products are
not the same.
I tried to uninstall 2005 on the problem desktop but it errors out during uninstall and no
I am trapped in do mans land.
Why can't the install program function correctly?
How can I start from scratch without rebuilding my machine?
