I got the following error when upgrading DB2 from v9.5 FP3a to v9.7 FP6:
"You do not have the authority to install DB2 Enterprise Server Edition, because this copy was installed by user: Administrator. Log on with that user account and try again."
I was using my personal account which is part of local admin group. To get around this error, I had to create a user Administrator (it didn't exist) and use it to upgrade DB2. I found the following APAR which mentions "On Windows Vista or Windows 2008, even if you are logged in as an administrator user you cannot upgrade a DB2 product that was installed as another user."
IBM IC62491: "YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO INSTALL...LOG ON AS A USER WITH ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY AND TRY AGAIN" WHEN UPGRADING - United States
I can't seem to find where this is documented in the manual. Does anyone know why I have to use the same account as what was used to install db2 on Windows 2008?
