DB2 in Windows XP

[Hattusas]

I have a problem while installing DB2 7.2 for windows to XP home edition.
The installation ended normally but we could not open the command center or control center.Operation System gave us a JDBC error that I am not familiar.
But the command line processor (dos screen) works.
But the graphical user interface fails.
The services are also running.
Any help will be appreciated.Thanks for spending time. Salih Sipahi

Check for classpath or path for users and add java in that.

Also, did you create new db2admin user on windowsXP while installing db2 EE ? If yes and then try to login as that user ( default is db2admin ) and then you can able to run control center or command center.

For other users you need to set path and classpath in that user's profile so that you can start Java applications like control center.

I have db2 v7.2 EE on windows XP home edition running fine.

I had v7.2 running fine on XP Home but there also seems to be an issue installing v8.1 on XP home though.

For 7.2 I had to create a db2admin user as well and things worked fine after that.

V7 also runs fine on my XP computer. Do you have SP2 installed on your PC? Check out the thread here about installing V8 on XP.

I solved my problem by installing fix pack 3 and fixapck 11
That upgraded the version on to 7.2.9
Now it work fine.
