office politics:
I reinstalled SQL Server. It appeared in the Programs menu. I went into SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable FILESTREAM in order to in turn enable "Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher Service". SQL Server Configuration Manager said FILESTREAM was already enabled. Thinking that perhaps FILESTREAM had just been enabled on the reinstallation of SQL Server, I clicked OK (not cancel) and again tried to install AdventureWorks, but it again said that the Full Text Search feature is missing.
Plus, when I reinstalled SQL Server, I had to chose the SQL Server with Tools install option (which I had chosen the first time) in order to reinstall it, because when I tried the SQL Server Advanced Features install option first, the Install Wizard, which actually downloads files for the install, said on each of 3 attempts that those files appeared to be corrupted.
This is certainly getting to be a royal pain in the ***. I do appreciate your help, but I confess I'm starting to get a little discouraged. But what can I do? I need this capability.
