We are trying to set up a development environment on a new machine.
Previously we have used this software on 32bit windows XP machines.
We tried installing the 32 bit version of DB2 universal client but the installation failed.
Is there a 64 bit version of DB2 universal client? Or is there a way to get the 32bit version to work on a 32 bit OS?
Yes, you can download the 64-bit client for Windows from this page.
Support for Win7 64-bit is available in DB2 9.7 and DB2 9.5.
You can try installing it under XP mode (VirtualPC) for Windows 7 - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx.
