Hello,
Looking back on it - knowing what I know now - I should have run
setup.exe by right clicking and explicitly running as an
Administrator.
Well, here I am. I installed DB2 Express-C from an account that is a
member of the Administrators group.
I got a pop-up that said:
One or more errors occurred while creating the DB2 Administration
Server.
The DB2 Administration Server may not function properly
Create the DB2 Administration Server manually.
If the problem persists contact your technical service
representative.
The successive popups displayed:
1. An error occurred while initializing the Profile Registry.
The return value is “-2079391743”. Contact your technical service
representative.
2. An error occurred while setting the registry key “SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\MSDTC\XADLL\C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN\DB2APP.DLL” to “C:
\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN\DB2APP.DLL”.
3. One or more errors occurred while committing the changes to the
user “DB2”. Create or make any changes to this user manually.
4. An error occurred while creating the instance “DB2”. The return
code is “-1918”. Create the instance manually using the command
“db2icrt”.
Now:
A. Is there a registry hack to resolve item 2 (that also resolves item
1)? If there is, could someone be kind enough to step me through it?
B. Should I create a DB2 users and make that user a member of DB2ADMNS
and DB2USERS?
C. I was able to create a DB2 instance using db2icrt - so that worked.
Incidentally, I added my account to DB2ADMNS and DB2USERS.
