These downloads are scripts and full database backups (.bak) files that you can use to install the AdventureWorks (OLTP) and AdventureWorksDW (data warehouse) sample databases to your SQL Server instance.
Note that AdventureWorks has not seen any significant changes since the 2012 version. The only differences between the various versions of AdventureWorks are the name of the database and the database compatibility level.
For additional guidance, please review the instructions for attaching a database and restoring a database. Download windows 8.1 64 bit.

I am completely frustrated and spent over a day on this problem (feel like a real dummy). I downloaded Visual Studio 2012 RC. I am trying to follow the LightSwitch tutorials and at the point of Connectivity, It asks for the Northwind Database. A nightmare begins! First no Northwind database comes with VS. I can understand that. Through a lot of searching, I am able to download a Northwind 2008 version but only the scripts (Northwind & Pubs) with supporting files to create them. I am able to create a NW,mdf file. In LightSwitch, I try the Data Connectivity procedure. It says that this file is not supported with the new 2012 format, etc. I have been trying to find a later version of NW but nothing. Tried downloading SQL Express 2012 and it doesn't install NW.mdf either. WOW!! All past versions of SQL downloads supplied this database as a 'no brainer' but it seems impossible to get a 2012 SQL NW database now. Help please. Even a zipped version would be super and the Pubs also. Thanks for any help. I haven't given up but running out of searches.
