2. Now, v10.5fp6_ntx64_client.exe is listed. -> Click the file name ->
Save it on your PC's temp space/folder.
* This step can verify the PC can connect to internet.
3. Click the downloaded file and unzip files in a temp space/folder.
4. Right click setup.exe and install it by Admin
5. DB2 setup launch pad is displayed -> Click "Install Data Studio Component"
6. In the right side window, "Install" button is grayed out even if the PC has an internet connection.
It says "No internet connection. Internet connection is required to install Data Studio." unexpectedly.
