> 1) Control Panel  >Add Remove Programs
> 2)  select "Microsoft SQL Server" -- "Change"
> 3)  On Fature Maint: Click on: "TO Install a new component, click here"
>
> 4)   Navigate to Setup.exe in the "Servers" directory of the install
> CD.
> 5)  System Config Check Launches (click next, it passes ALL OK), click
> next
> 5) "Tools Setup" dialog displays -- click "Change Installed
> Components".
>
> 6)  "Feature Selection" is displayed.
>
>        The two main trees are Client COmponents and "Documentation,
> Samples and Sample Data".
>      In this case, all are shown with "RED X" - no installed.
>
> 7) Change "Documentation, Samples and Sample Data". to :Entire Feature
