I want to install the new (February 2007) sample databases. The readme says any previous version must be removed by dropping the database., then running Remove from Add or Remove Programs. I've detached the database, but when I try to uninstall it I get the following message:
"Error 1309.Error reading from file: pathandfilename.mdf. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it."
What should I do.

It sounds like the uninstall is expecting the file to exisit and you much have deleted it? If you run a repair first it should replace the file then you can run an uninstall.
Thanks

|||Both the AdventureWorksDB mdf and ldf files are there. All I've done is detached them first. I tried "Repair"ing the installation first. This ran successfully, but I still couldn't uninstall afterwards.|||Once you have detached the databases then it means that is uninstalled, try to reinstall by applying from the Feb.2007 update.|||Deleting the two database files (after detaching of course!), then running the Uninstall from Add/Remove programs worked!
