You might be able to get it now by just reinstalling the tools and making
sure you choose the sample databases. Otherwise you can download it from
here

You should download AdventureWorksDB.msi or AdventureWorksDBCI.msi

|||Yes, the SqlServerSamples.msi is code samples. There are separate downloads
for the sample databases, which you can see in the link I gave you are
