Installing 2005 Samples

I installed SQL 2005 Dev Edition on laptop, basics working fine. I'm trying
an SSIS tutorial, it refers to: c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Samples directory.
Said directory is not on my disk. I inserted Setup (CD 2 of 2), clicked all
the installs for AdventureWorks and Samples, and it finally says must use
"Add Remove Programs to Install". So I went to Control Panel, "Add Remove
Programs", then it's tricky to decide which SQL 2005 to choose. I tried
several, but either got the same message, or it said that everything was
already installed.
Is there a simple .zip I can just download somewhere? Or what is the
correct way to install the samples, this has taken me almost an hour just to
get the samples.
Thanks,
Neal Walters

http://Biztalk-Training.comHi Neal
I had these problems with my RTM build. I mucked around with a few
suggestions for a while & ended up simply uninstalling, then re-installing.
Everything went fine after that. If you choose this route, do make sure
you've carefully selected the individual samples nodes from the installer
options rather than simply selecting the "install everything locally on my
computer" heading node as apparently there may be some problems with that
route.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Samples? (Including Tools)

to be found under 90.
Neal|||The instructions for installing the sample databases and samples are in the
Books Online topic "Running Setup to Install AdventureWorks Sample Databases
and Samples". Alternatively, you can download the samples from this site:

is a reg entry flag that is not getting reset for samples.
