DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / B10 - DB2

If you attempt to uninstall DB2 you may hit the following: 
 
call "C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN\db2unins.bat"  -y -f -l 
C:\temp\uninstall.log 
 
But on DB2 11.1 this call (which works with DB23 10.5.8) fails 
with message: 
 
"The DB2 copy is damaged or does not exist. Run db2unins from 
the installation media."

There are the following workaround: 
 
- uninstalling from install media. 
- THis requires DB2 Server.msi and NewRegHKLM.txt is to do what 
install media db2unins.bat does manually, namely: 
copy "%~dp0db2unins" .\db2unins.exe > .\null  (basically copy 
db2unins as db2unins.exe to make it executable) 
copy "%~dp0db2NewRegHKLM.txt" .\db2NewRegHKLM.txt > .\null (copy 
db2NewRegHKLM.txt to CWD) 
call db2unins.exe --CDpath "%~dp0db2\Windows\DB2 Server.msi" %1 
%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9   (run db2unins.exe with supplied 
arguments, but add --CDpath as first argument)
