I'm having problems setting up the database described in Apress's Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 4. I have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express which doesn't support Full Text Search, and I can't install the database from codeplex (AdventureWorks2008 OLTP) because it requires Full Text Search. The book suggests getting this exact version of SQL Server (Express and everything). I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way to install a database into SQL Server when a feature is not provided. Is there anything else I can do. I'm stuck for the time being.

Thanks.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services supports full text searching - you probably don't have that version.

  • I tried this, I am using Windows 7 which gives me an incompatibility error. I'm thinking its telling me that I just need to install SP2. – Jordan Feb 11 '11 at 20:39
  • I was using an older version of "SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services". I used your link, and it worked fine. – Jordan Feb 13 '11 at 16:13
