DB2 8.1.0 Enterprise Server Edition<br />
The fixpak is the very large +/- 500 MBytes named fp5_wr21334_ese.exe and the one I thought it needed is wm81fp5.exe

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have DB2 8.1.0 for Windows installed<br />
I want to apply fixpak 5 so I download the very large file<br />
I run it and now, it asks for the fixpak IMAGE for DB2 run-time client.<br />
Well, going back to download site, I found wm81fp5.exe, 33 MBytes<br />
Download again and put it where the fixpak 5 looks for it : says not found<br />
Now I run the wm81fp5.exe which appears to be a self-extract<br />
Result is wm81fp5 without extension.<br />
Fixpak 5 still does not 'see' it.<br />
What do I have to do now ?

IBM DB2 is a family of relational database server products developed by IBM that have been extended to support object-relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. There are three main products in the DB2 family: DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (informally known as DB2 LUW), DB2 for z/OS (mainframe), and DB2 for i (formerly OS/400), plus a version for IBM's Virtual Storage Extended (VSE) operating system.
