    how to add full text search services in already installed instance of sql 2008?

    when I try to download adventureworks sample database, it says no full text service availble and ask to install it before installing sample database. I google but could not find the way except one for XP envronment where someone was suggesting to activeate some deamon services and install . but mine is windows 2003 and I could not find that services in my system.
    I went through control panne add remove programs to add but stops once it could not find the full text service

    Can somebody tell me how can I add this full text services in my existing instance of sql 2008? I do not want to reinstall the whole sql 2008 engines.

    Thanks

    I do not have full text search and any indesing currently

    while installing sql2k8, I did not install this component of full text search features. and now when I try to play with Adventure works Data warehouse installing it, it ask for th is full text features service. Now I am looking for a way to install this full text search service in my existing instalnce of MS sql 2008 so that I might be able to attach or install this sample adventure works database.

    Thanks
    Santosh
