Converting Northwind Database for VS11 Beta

Question

I was reading the instructions on converting the Northwind database for VS11 Beta and it says that you need SQL Server Management Studio 2008 on the machine. I'm a bit confused because it seems that it defeats the purpose of only downloading the LocalDB (without the tools). If this is true, I guess I should uninstall and then reinstall with the tools??? Thanks.

I was startaing a tutorial (at the link below). I was following the directions under "Prerequisites" which give you a link labeled "How to: Install Sample Database". It was on that page I got stuck. Thanks.
