APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If there is UNC reference in the PATH env variable then db2
  setup.exe will fail with error:
  
  "DB2 Setup has detected a Universal Naming Convention path
  reference (ie. entry of the form \<computer name>\<share name>)
  in the PATH environment. You must remove this entry or change it
  to a mapped drive before you will be able to complete this
  install"
  
  We will be looking for opportinity to create a new response file
  keyword to skip the checking for existance of the UNC path.
  

Local fix

• Map UNC to the network drive or put install image on the UNC
  path and install from there.
