Trying to install AdventureWorks 2008 Sample Databases- get error :AdventureWorks2008 OLTP requires FileStream which is not enabled for the instance you selected.

Question

I have 10.0.2531.0 (sql2008 Enterprise Edition (64-bit) sp1)
I have full text search , and filestream enabled. And I run the sql server with a NT account (not local system)

When I run SQL2008.AdventureWorks_All_Databases.x64.msi , I see this error :
AdventureWorks2008 OLTP requires FileStream which is not enabled for the instance you selected.

I read the other similiar postings , but don't see a solution to the problem.
Any ideas?
Peter
