DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Installing DB2 Connect Personal Edition (Windows)

This task describes how to install DB2 Connect™ Personal Edition on Windows operating systems using the DB2 Setup wizard. Alternatively, you can install DB2 Connect Personal Edition using the response file method. Installing IBM® Data Server Driver Package (DS Driver) and then applying the DB2 Connect Personal Edition license is the preferred alternative to the process listed below. Refer to IBM data server client types for details.

Before you begin

Before you launch the DB2 Setup wizard:
  • Ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
    • Hardware and software requirements
    • Disk and memory requirements
  • If you are installing on Windows and intend to use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), you must extend the directory schema.
  • It is recommended that you use an Administrator account to perform the installation. The Administrator account must belong to the local administrator's group on the Windows computer where you are installing your DB2® database product and should have the following advanced user rights:
    • Act as part of the operating system
    • Create token object
    • Increase quotas
    • Replace a process level token
    You can perform the installation without advanced user rights, but the setup program might be unable to validate accounts.
  • If you want to install DB2 Connect with a non-Administrator account, refer to the topic, "Non-Administrator installation of DB2 Connect (Windows)".
