Installing a fix pack for a single database product (Windows)

Follow these instructions if a single Db2® database product is already installed and you want to apply a new fix pack level. The setup command is used to install the fix pack.

Before you begin

    The Db2 Setup wizard launchpad opens.
  3. Click Install a Product and the Install a Product window displays the products available for installation.
    • Click Install New to create a new Db2 copy.
    • Click Work with Existing to update an existing Db2 copy.
