Hi,
I have just installed DB2 ESE V8 + fp3 in a WIn2000 (_SP2).

This was a clean install - I removed the prior v7 as in my first attempt at
installing V8 it ha I/O errors when ever I tried to read a database.

With this new install DB2 starts but wgen I go to start the ADMIN server I
get the following

ERROR 193 : %1 is not a valid Win32 application (I have installed the 32
bit DB2 version - othe rhtings are working).

There are a number of other tasks which don't seem to work

DB2 Sercurity Server
DB2 License server
Warhousmanager

RIchard

%1 is generally seen in batch files (.bat, .cmd, etc.)
How do you start it? Using db2admin start command?
Any db2admin.bat in your path?

PM

I get the error when I issue the commant 'db2admin start' or via the
services option.

Sorry,
I start the admin server both automatically or manually and what happens
is I see the following message in the 'windows eventvwr'

The DB2DAS - DB2DAS00 service failed to start due to the following error:

DB2DAS - DB2DAS00 is not a valid Win32 application.

and

The DB2 Security Server service failed to start due to the following error:

DB2 Security Server is not a valid Win32 application.



and a few others

I am also running fp 3 for v8

No worries - I have resolved this problem.

It was resolved by modifying the services path definitions in the registry.

I got the info from the Microsoft Knowledge Base (#812486)
