Thank you. All the other tutorials I read made this process very complicated. Yours was very easy to follow :)

Brilliant! Thank you - I have hunted through all kinds of code and sites and this is the easiest, simplest and successful advice.
Well Done!

Best instructions I've seen! Thank you!

Thank you very much for sharing this information. Installation successful after 1st try and three days of trying other means....

wow, all the others tutorial were: copy the file there, run that script ... blah blah blah ..

thanks

Thank you all for the comments. I am glad I can make the process a little bit less painful!

Thanks a TON, most relevant and useful installation instructions I have ever come across

This was very helpful and easy to follow. I did have to do one additional step:
After step 4, I had to change the permissions on Adventureworks2014.bak file to be readable by everyone.
Without this, there were no destination databases visible (the bottom part of step 9 was blank) and I couldn't proceed.

Oh! God bless you. I've giving up so many times trying to get this downloaded. Your tutorial is just 5 stars!

JASON HUYNH for President 2016! (hope that is not taken as an insult considering...) I have determined that you are the most intelligent person on the internet!! I have searched for hours and days through endless inane and worthless posts to find this one. (I have run scripts that all failed and was about to type it all in manually.) Now I know how to install not only Adventure Works but any other .bak file I need.

Simple, straight to the point and I installed the DB in literally seconds upon finding this. I wish you could teach all the other self-promoting [individuals] how to impart instructions. GREAT JOB!

Thank You So Much!

Thank you so much! It is a very easy tutorial and I could install the database successfully.

I share the same sentiment of those who posted before me. This is the best instruction that i have come across after hours of searching. No need to use scripts to restore and all that stuff. Really good and simple instruction to follow. Thank you very much!

Before I forget, did I say thank you? I don't think I can say thank you enough for your help. You're a real saviour, and let me just say it again and again and once again thank you so much Mr Huynh.

Thank you so much Mr Huynh for your help, I don't think I can say thank you enough to thank you. You're a saviour!

Another downside of having such a large number of components is that it expands the odds of something turning out badly.

Databases can be so useful, nowadays even small organizations use them. Everywhere you look, there is a database: mailing lists, customer profiles, organizing a wedding, routing toll free telephone calls all over the country... Some are small and simple. Some are immense and complex.excel reporting dashboard

Thanks! Really easy that way.

Thank you so much! After struggling for several days to get the correct SQL Express Server installed and configured, this was a breath of fresh air to have this work so quickly and efficiently. I simply selected the .BAK for AdventureLT2014 and it was visible. I worked with Azure until the 30-day expired and had to find a way to setup the database and server locally. After finding out that SQL Server 2017 could not be used for this purpose, the frustration began to uninstall both the SQL Server and SSMS and trial and error of finding which SQL Server would work on Windows 7 because SQL Server 2016 would not install. Hopefully, no one else will have to go through this painful experience. Best Wishes.

awesome thank you
