    The instructions are mostly generic as VS 2012 is independent of SQL Server.

    You can follow the instructions here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20987/HowTo-Install-the-Northwind-and-Pubs-Sample-Databa if you don't feel confident to use the SQL Script files (.sql).

    I hope you have less problems than the ones you had installing SQL Server.

    I wonder how did you know that I'm a native spanish speaker (maybe my accent :-P) as there's no information of that on my profile. BTW, 9000 words is a great vocabulary for someone who "has learned just a few".

    Sir, I knew by your name being posted at the very top after

    . Also, you included a couple of lines at the bottom that were in Spanish.

    Yes, I certainly have had more success installing the Northwind and pubs databases. I ran the SQL Script files (.sql) from my VS 2005 Query Editor and when I clicked on "Execute" there it was. I then ran it again for the other one and both are now in my Server along with the Adventureworks and the System Databases (which I do not mess with).

    Thank you for the help and the comments. Have a good day. JRichards54 🙂
