Summary:
Getting errors when you are trying to reinstall IBM Integration Designer V 7.5? See what you can do to resolve the issue.
IBM Integration Designer V 7.5 (previously called WebSphere Integration Developer) comes with IBM DB2 Express. Embedded Derby database was used with WebSphere Integration Developer.
IBM Infocenter has provided information for troubleshooting issues that you might face when installing or uninstalling IBM Integration Designer V 7.5. Check [1] in the references section.
Background: I was trying to reinstall IBM Integration Designer V 7.5 on a 64bit windows 7 system. I was able to successfully install and uninstall it for the first time. The reason for uninstalling it was to install DB2 Express with a different account which probably does not hold relevance here.
Issue: Re Installation of IBM Integration Designer V 7.5 with the test environment fails during the creation of a profile. As mentioned in [1] - “If you try to reinstall to the same location, or if you try to reinstall after a failed uninstall, the installation might fail because a new profile cannot be created.”
Resolution: IBM Infocenter [1] suggests that “If databases were created for the test environment, the databases must be dropped before you can create a new profile. If the databases are not automatically dropped during uninstall, you must drop them manually. “
Note that in my case, I had no prior DB2 installation on the system and the installation was done using the “typical installation” configuration from the Launchpad.
During the uninstallation process using the IBM Installation Manager, I had already uninstalled the DB2 Express also. How do I drop the databases manually when DB2 has already been uninstalled? Here is what I did.
For Windows 32 bit systems, find the corresponding folders and try to delete them if you are facing similar issues.
NOTE: If you are having issues deleting the above two folders, try restarting the system and deleting them again. Also, make sure that you either disable the anti-virus software during the installation process or provide full access permission for this program in the anti-virus software.
Once I deleted the above two folders, I was able to install IBM Integration Designer V7.5 and the test environment without any issues.
