Installing Db2 Spatial Extender using the Db2 Setup wizard (Windows)
You can use the Db2 Setup wizard to install Db2 Spatial Extender on Windows operating systems as part of a Db2 installation.
Before you begin
Before you start the Db2 Setup wizard:
- Ensure that your system meets installation, memory, and disk requirements.
- You must have a local Administrator user account with the recommended user rights to perform the
installation. In Db2 database servers with
single-partition databases where LocalSystem can be used as the DAS and Db2 instance user, a
non-administrator user with elevated privileges can perform the installation.Note: If a non-Administrator user account is going to do the product installation, then the VS2010 runtime library must be installed before attempting to install a Db2 database product. The VS2010 runtime library is needed on the operating system before the Db2 database product can be installed. The VS2010 runtime library is available from the Microsoft runtime library download website. There are two choices: choose vcredist_x86.exe for 32-bit systems or vcredist_x64.exe for 64-bit systems.
- You should close all programs so that the installation program can update any files on the computer without requiring a reboot.
- For installations from a virtual drive, you must map the network drive to a Windows drive letter. The Db2 Setup wizard does not support installation from a virtual drive or an unmapped network drive (such as \\hostname\sharename in Windows Explorer).
