Hi,

I want to download and add the Northwind sample database to my SQL Server 2005. I am looking at this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143221(SQL.90).aspx

What is confusing to me is when I click on the link in the line "These databases can be downloaded from this Microsoft Web site." I get the following page:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=06616212-0356-46A0-8DA2-EEBC53A68034&displaylang=en

lists the name as SQL2000SampleDb.msi

Yet, according to the initial page the file I need is SQL2005SampleDb.msi.

What am I missing?
