I'm trying to install "DB2 workgroup Edition" from "Dummies Test
Engine DB2 UDB v7.1 evaluation copy" CD, which comes with DB2
fundamentals certification for Dummies for db2 certification exam 512.

The following errors occured during installation of db2...

Error during installation: C:\PROGRA~1\SQLLIB\bin\iwh2regi.exe 10
DWCTRLDB DWCTRLDB NULL 1252 EN : -1032.
Error during installation: C:\PROGRA~1\SQLLIB\bin\iwh2regi.exe 12
DWCTRLDB IWH jack ******** C:\PROGRA~1\SQLLIB\logging
C:\PROGRA~1\SQLLIB : 2009.

Anyway, a db2 dialog came up and said the installation was successful.
Then I started the "First Steps" from Start->Program Files->Db2->First
Steps...

I tried to create a sample database, but it failed with error 8000
saying that a valid licence file not found.

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Has someone tried
installing the db2 workgroup edition from this cd? Can you point me to
someplace where I can find db2 for the purpose of certification exam?

Thanks & Regards,
VA

vAgrawal,

Sorry, I am not aware of the errors appearing during installation but
below are the details for certification.

1) http://www-1.ibm.com/certify/certs/dm_index.shtml
2) http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/education/cert/
3) http://www7b.software.ibm.com/dmdd/library/tutorials/db2cert/db2cert_tut.html

Hope this helps...

Hi,

I've been through the certification material. Unfortunately, it
doesn't dwell upon the installation process and the troubleshooting
it...

Do you know (link) where I can get the evaluation copy of db2
(personal or workgroup edition)?

Thanks.

Running "db2licm -l", I found that the evaluation copy's license which
came with the book had expired.
I changed the system date and db2 started working. I could create a
sample database alright.

You can download a trial copy from the IBM website. I believe it is good for
90 days.
