adventureworks installation

I downloaded and installed the .msi from codeplex. After installation I open SQL Server Management Studio but don't see AdventureWorksDB in the list of databases. How is this possible? Should I not be seeing this new database? Do I have to do something else?

From within the sql server studio, right click on the databases entry. The task you are looking for is "attach database".

Grab the .mdf file for the adventure works db. ( It may try to grab a .log file that is in the wrong directory, if so, delete the reference to it on the screen. It will create another log file in the same directory as the .mdf file.)
