How to enable Full Text Search in SQL Server 2008 Express
When I downloaded SQL Server 2008 Express, I did not think I would need to use Full Text Search.
Now I would like to use the AdventureWorks sample database but cannot install it without Full Text Search.
Is there a way to install this without reinstalling SQL Server 2008 Express?

If you download and run the advanced version of SQL2008 it will offer an option to add features. I would advice the version that includes the management studio as well.
Edit: The menu-sequence is: Installation, New Sql-Server stand-alone or add features
