Default FP2 Vista cannot configure default instance

Hi,

On Vista 64-bit, I am in the administrators'group + DB2ADMNS.

FP2 was applied on FP1 and went fine, except that I got a message that
DB2COPY1 cannot be updated (right access denied ???). I don't get it. After
that, I cancelled, and setup was successful.

I have also tried to set the already default copy as default copy
(Start->programs ... -Set-up tools -Default DB2 ....) and get the same
error.

Any tricky thing to do on Vista to solve this pb ?

Thanks,

Jean-Marc

If you can, replace Vista with XP. I did an installation routine for
DB2 9.1 last year and it gave me all kinds of headaches. The reason
for this is that you usually work as a "reduced" administrator and
can't change your own files you installed just a minute ago.

However, you can run programs explicitly as full administrator; for
instance, by right clicking on the icon, or by pressing shift+return
while entering the command in the start menu. (I dumped Vista after I
finished writing the routine, so I'm not sure about the details now.)

Hi,

Thanks for your help and explanation.

Vista is really a mess, I fully agree, and I deactivated user control to
avoid clicking all the time on actions. But as far as I remember, I did not
get the issue with FP1, but I may have installed directly from FP1 code.I
can't unfortunately come back to XP 64 bit :-(.

Thanks again,

JM

As far as I remember my install routine was for FP2. So maybe it will
help if you remove FP1 first, then install FP2.
