Description

When trying to create the database through the script provided here, the script fails on the Full Text dialog creation, since this is not by default added to a SSMS installation.

Msg 7609, Level 17, State 5, Line 3518
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 5, Line 3525
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 5, Line 3532
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.

There are also no clear instructions on how to install Full-Text Search anywhere on the Microsoft website.

Research direction

Start with the AdventureWorks OLTP install script linked in the issue and inspect the Full-Text statements around lines 3518, 3525, and 3532. Reproduce the failure on a fresh SSMS 19 setup, then verify that the completed work either makes the import succeed or clearly documents the required Full-Text Search setup.
