Can't Find SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Download

Hi,

I found the proper page for download of the SQL Server 2005 Evaluation and I went through the steps of registering, setting up an account, etc. When I am redirected back to the page where I can theoretically now download the installation, there are two downloads available: ReadmeSQL2005.htm and RequirementsSQL2005.htm - But not the actuall installation file. Am I missing something, ot is something just missing?

Joe

The links are provided in the "Instructions" area of the page.

It is a bit misleading as usually you click on the "download files below" link and it takes to the bottom of the page.

Can't find AdventureWorksDW

I did see a post from early Oct saying that there would be a link on
msdn to download this.
But I wondered if anyone else has this database and where they found
it. It's used in the AS tutorial.
No one in my shop has seen it -- we've been through the June and Sept
CTP's and now we're on the final release.
Have you tried following the installation instructions in the Books Online
topic "Running Setup to Install AdventureWorks Sample Databases and
Samples"?
Alternatively, you can download the sample databases from this site:

cant download/install adventureworks.sln

HI I have installed the adventure works db scripts and have both the
adventureworks and adventureworksdw databases installed. I am missing the
adventureworks.sln (adventure works project files). I tried to install
adventureworksBI.msi but I got an error that the adventureworks database is
already installed. I tried renaming the adventureworks database on the
server to something else and tried the install again but I got an error
message that it was too old of a version. I am not sure if there is a script
I need to run that will instal the project files, Any ideas? thanks.

I guess it's about Sql Server Samples. Did you download the latest version
from the following link:
http://www.codeplex.com/SqlServerSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4000
After installing it, you'll find the AdventureWorks(VB\CS).sln VS solution
file in the following path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Samples\Engine\Programmability\CLR\Adven tureWorks
If this is what you are looking for...

can't download ms sql 2005 free trail version

hi was looking forward to downloading the 180 day trial version of ms sql server 2005. Signed up and everything. when it loaded the download page it only has the 2 help files listed. Has the free trial ended? if i download the full express version does that have a free trial?

hi,

to me all works as exptected... in the middle of the page you can find a section reporting:

"Instructions

Enterprise Evaluation Edition is available in two downloadable formats: an image file that you can use to burn your own DVD, and a self-extracting executable file that will allow you to download and install without a DVD burner"

where you can download the ISO images or the direct self extracting executable

at the end of the page, the link you "reported" are in the section"Files in This Download

The links in this section correspond to separate files available in this download. Download the files most appropriate for you."

and these are additional downloads, the readme file and requirements in order to install SQL Server 2005..

regards

|||When I was getting ready to pose my question, it referred me to this thread as a possible solution. And fortunately it helped! So thank you Andrea! :)
