Quick Beginnings EEE for Windows**
This section outlines the software required to run DB2
products.
Table 2 lists the operating system and communications software
required for DB2 Universal Database.
On all platforms you will need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version
1.1.8 to run DB2's Java-based tools, such as the Control
Center. If you intend to run the Control Center as an applet, you will
need a Java-enabled browser. See Control Center Installation and Configuration for more information.
