| Local Fix: |
- Prior to installing DB2: Remove the 'ITMA' subdirectory from
the DB2 image. DB2 will detect that ITMA is not present, and
not install it. This is a supported scenario -- no errors will
be raised during installation.
- Prior to installing DB2: For the silent install only, set the
response file keyword INSTALL_ITMA to "NO".
- After installing DB2: Uninstall ITMA.
Selective uninstall of ITMA is documented in the Information
Center here:

| Solution |
Problem was first fixed in Version 9.5 Fix Pack 7.
Starting with FP7, new installs of DB2 will no longer install
ITMA, so the problem will not be encountered. |
