Installing DB2 Relational Connect on Windows Systems

Before you install DB2 Relational Connect on your Windows system, make sure you have installed either DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition or DB2 Universal Database Enterprise - Extended Edition.

The following instructions explain how to install DB2 Relational Connect on your Windows NT or Windows 2000 system.

  1. Log on to the system with the user account that you created to perform the installation.
  2. Shut down any other programs so that the setup program can update files as required.
  3. Insert the DB2 Relational Connect CD into the drive. The auto-run feature automatically starts the setup program. The setup program will determine the system language and launch the setup program for that language. If you want to run the setup program in a different language, or the setup program failed to auto-start, refer to the following tip.
