    AdventureWorksDW2012

    I am trying to add the above db sample file to SQL Server 2012. When I try to attach it, I get the error shown at the end.

    I am adding it in SSMS. When I select the file, it adds the .mdf and .ldf, and I removed the .ldf. The file is not read-only.

    I have also downloaded the AdventureWorks2012 OLTP database, and that attaches fine, I cannot see any difference.

    I am sure it is a permissions problem somewhere, but I cannot see where. Anyone have any ideas?

    (Very) Long shot, and about all I can do is spell SQL but maybe if you tried to create it in a folder other than 'Program Files' ???

    I've had permissions issues sometimes with system 'protected' folders like that

    I tried that originally Paul, and my first thought was that was the reason, it had to be in MS' specially constructed MSSQL (it doesn't actually, but being elsewhere requires a lot of other settings/permissions).

    And I am administrator, so if I start with insufficient permissions, Windows 7 lets me add them when required.

    As mentioned, I have also downloaded the OLTP database, I can't see anything different in the the two files or how I tried to attach them, but teh OLTP database attached perfectly, first time.
