DB2 Client Installation Error

Question

I am facing problems while installaing db2 client in my system. Initially I got an error: Cannot find XML_0017.cab.

Then I cancelled the installation, selected the custom installation option and removed all the options related to XML (i.e. XML Extender and the XML Extender Samples) and tried to install. Now i can see that WEBD0000.CAB file is missing.

I am not able to understand how to proceed with the installation. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

DB2 9.1 was not supported on Windows 7 at all. IBM ended support of DB2 9.1 in April, 2012.

I would suggest you download a more recent version of the Data Server client from IBM's website.

Answer 2

CAB file, I assume this is a windows installation. My DB2 on windows is a little rusty but if this is a client install you should not have to install "XML anything" unless you installing some kind of addon for Visual Studio. What file did you download? Can you include a file name, url link etc.?
