Can not find TUTORIAL directory after downloading the "SQL Server 2008R2 product code samples" pack multiple times? Where are these TUTORIALs found? ETL tutorials

Question

I download the SQL Server 2008R2 product code samples several times, installed and uninstalled serveral times. The directory doesn't show up under "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Samples" where it should be? Anyone have ideas on how to obtain these TUTORIAL files? Where are they???

 

Answer 1

SQL Server 2008 R2 samples are installed, by default, to the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\<Technology>

For example, the Integration Services samples are installed to this folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Integration Services

Answer 2

I am having the same issue as BlueIzzzz. I installed for Integration services tutorial, but the folder does not appear in the Samples folder. I see all the AdventureWorks folders, but none for Integration Services.

According to the tutorial found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms170583.aspx

The sample files should be found here: c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Integration Services\Tutorial\Creating a Simple ETL Package\Sample Data folder

But like I said, there isn't an Integration Services folder. When I installed the sample databases I had no errors, so where did they go? If they're not installing, where can I download them separately?

Answer 3

I figured it out. The instructions make it sound like you just install the AdventureWorks DBs and you're all set. However, you have to install the Integration Services Tutorials.
