DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

The values for the V97 DB2 OLEDB registry keys are lost after it 
is upgraded to a higher fix pack level on a 64-bit Windows 
system. 
 
The OLE DB application receives the error messages similar as 
the following: 
 
Error:    Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly 
installed. 
Code:     800A0E7A 
Source:   ADODB.Connection 
 
Since the OLEDB registry keys do not have their GUID values, you 
will get the following error when you tried to register it 
manually with the regsvr32.exe command line. 
 
The module "<full path of the .dll file>" failed to load. 
Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it 
to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. 
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. 
 
For reference, the following is the command line to 
register the DB2's OLE DB provider manually: 
 
To register the 32-bit driver in the 32-bit registry: 
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe <DB2 copy installation 
directory>\bin\ibmdadb2.dll 
 
To register the 64-bit driver in the 64-bit registry: 
C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe <DB2 copy installation 
directory>\bin\ibmdadb264.dll

Install the V97 DB2 product at the higher fix pack to a new DB2 
copy, instead of installing it on top of the lower Fix Pack. 
Then, move the DB2 instances in the existing copy to the new 
copy by executing the 
db2iupdt.exe command line.
