Title: DB2 Install issue
Post by: Greg Ira on April 29, 2015, 07:58:36 PM
As part of a V9.5 CMOD upgrade we are trying to do a new install of DB2 10.5 on Windows.  After running setup we get the pop up window for install but the left pane is blank.  No options to install, or anything.  Has anyone else run into this?  We're going to try a silent install but was curious if there was a solution for this problem.

If there is an available FixPack, you should be able to do a full install with it, then use the license file from the base install package to authorize DB2 to run.  The command you'll need is db2licm.

I've had to do this with TSM 7.x, as the original installer was absolutely terrible.  (Why can't IBM settle on a specific installation tool, instead of changing every two or three years?)

Thanks for the tip.  We did download a fixpack for it but before we tried your method we discovered a fix, so to speak.  When we ran the extract the first time we pointed to a location of our choosing. This was the setup where we were running into the issue.  This last time we let the extractor pick the location and ran the setup from that location.  Wouldn't you know the installer worked.  Go figure.
