I have downloaded both sql 2008 developer training kit, and
2008 AdventureWorks Sample Database , but I have no idea how to create the AW db correctly. I got the syntax error after I made data loc change and uncommentd the 2nd setvar statement as shown below…

Here are some of the statements in the instawdb.sql
–:setvar SqlSamplesDatabasePath “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\”
–:setvar SqlSamplesSourceDataPath “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Samples\”

IF ‘$(SqlSamplesSourceDataPath)’ IS NULL OR ‘$(SqlSamplesSourceDataPath)’ = ”
BEGIN
RAISERROR(N’The variable SqlSamplesSourceDataPath must be defined.’, 16, 127) WITH NOWAIT
RETURN
END

Would you please help? I’ll appreciate it.
