Do the folowing things

Point 1: unzip the downloaded file and then click on the setup file. you will get the DB2 Setup Launchpad.

Thank you for your reply. I am curious, the file I have is an .exe file that does an auto unzip I think... So how do I manually unzip that kind of a self extracting exe file? Is there a site that I can download a .zip file?

Thank you again !!!

I did find another tool to unpack the .exe file, I encountered a few issues unpacking so I could not run the setup.exe file but was able to run this file db2/windows/DB2 Express-C.msi. The install process completed normally. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Jitesh,

Most probably could have been a broken download or file corruption.

Is it 32 bit or 64 bit and which Edition(ESE, Express, or Workgroup)?

Do the following.

Download it from here

Hi Jitesh,

Do one thing, do a system restore to a point prior to you installing DB2 Express-C in Windows XP.


1) Goto Add/Remove Programs and uninstall DB2 if available

2) Delete any directories if in C:\DB2 or D:\DB2 or E:\DB2.
3) Delete the IBM Directory in C:\Program Files\IBM - Delete only IBM Directory

4) Start a clean install and perform the installation.

5) I suspect, you should choose, Jitesh as your Local User Account , enter your Jitesh password in the password and confirm password sections.

6) Then, the install should perform fine.

7) I did a clean install of DB2 Express-C 9.7.2 yesterday and it worked fine.

Cheers!
