AdventureWorks for SQLServer2008 EXPRESS

Question

I can not attach or copy the AdventureWorks DB to the Express version of the SQL Server 2008

Answer 1

you've got the Adventureworks DB for SQL Server 2008 R2 which can't be attached to SQL 2008.

see this thread with the same issue http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlserversamples/thread/52303c10-1bf5-4522-a35a-ad6cd283c2ff

in this thread the answers contains the correct link and instruction to install Adventureworks on SQL 2008
