DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

After you run the db2unins command with -the -f switch (db2unins 
-f) to uninstall DB2 on 64-bit Windows, the Windows registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM is still there. 
 
When you install DB2 on 64-bit Windows, it creates these Windows 
registry keys: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\DB2 
 
When you then uninstall DB2 by using the db2unins command with 
the -f switch (db2unins -f), it removes the Windows registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM 
but does not remove the Windows registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\DB2 
 
This APAR fix will make db2unins with the -f switch (db2unins 
-f) remove the Windows registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\DB2 too.

As a workaround you can uninstall DB2 by using the "Add or 
Remove Programs" item in Control Panel in Windows, or else by 
running db2unins without the -f switch from the bin directory of 
your DB2 installation directory. 
 
If you have already uninstalled DB2 in such a way that the 
Windows registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM remains, you can 
remove that Windows registry key by using a tool such as 
regedit.
