SQL 2005 Adventure Works Access

[eo]

Hi

I recently purchased the SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition for my home laptop. I have installed it and can now access BIDS and SSMS. I first wanted to have a look at creating a SSRS project, but cannot access the Adventure Works DB. It does not seem like the samples section installed properly (as the folder c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples does not exist). When I try and reinstall those components by following the instructions below, it says those components already exist.

1) On the Components to Install page, select Workstation components, Books Online and development tools.
2) Click Advanced and then expand Books Online and Samples.
3) Select Samples.
4) Expand Databases and then select the sample databases to install...instructions copied from BOL
