body: <p>With reference to to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42274610/a-client-for-ibm-db2-7-2-aix">A Client for IBM DB2 7.2 AIX</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to install the windows Db2 client: DB2-winx64-client-9.1.1200.483-FP012   (see: <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24033024).This" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24033024).This</a> fails because it detected previous level of Db2 products installed but it can not determine where is what installed (I don't know what should be uninstalled).</p>

  <p>I have been given a windows 7 laptop and I basically can delete anything I want on it just to make this work. Problem is: I have no clue what it refers to. Are there registry keys to delete or something alike? (Or is there a "force install")</p>
