windows Server 2008 64 bit to DB2

[Chuck]

Anyone know what or how to install the DB2 Runtime client on a Windows x86 64
bit server. The IBM download page only has 32 it and AMD drivers.

The fix page has a 64 bit driver but what are you suppose to install to the
32 bit client or the AMD 64 bit client.

Hello,

Your problem has nothing to do with ADO.NET. I would suggest you go to IBM
support chanel to ask this question.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.
db2.udb.uprun.doc/doc/c0022612.htm

And based on my research,
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3551&context=SS2K5T&context=SS4
NVZ&context=SSTL9V&context=SSTLAX&context=SSTLBC&context=SSTLBS&context=SS3K
YS&dc=DB550&dc=D420&dc=DB530&dc=D410&dc=DB510&dc=D430&q1=DB2_Runtime_Client_
Windows_x86-64.exe&uid=swg24016283&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en

Based on my understanding, the DB2_Runtime_Client_Windows_x86-64.exe is
shipped with WebSphere Federation Server Developer Edition on Windows for
(AMD64 and Intel EM64T) 64-bit systems. And you have to use IBM passport to
download it. You'd better to contact IBM support to get a confirmation.

Thanks,
After talking to our IBM rep and putting in an IBM support request and about
4 hours on the telephone.

If you need to the IBM runtime, do not goto the IBM runtime page.
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?source=swg-idsrc11&lang=en_US
This does not have a 64 bit intel driver.

Instead goto the fixpacks page.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docvi...ontext=SSEPGG&dc=D400&loc=en_US&lang=en&cc=US

and look for
V9.5 Fix Pack 3b for
Windows (x64, 64 bit)
"IBM Data Server Driver for
ODBC, CLI, .NET and Open Source ".

This has the driver you need.
