Command line options to install IBM Data Server Driver Package (Windows)

The IBM® Data Server Driver Package can be installed by running the DB2® setup.exe from the command line. For fix pack images, you can download the setup.exe command from https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?lang=en_US&source=swg-idsc11.

The following list describes command-line options available for the setup command. For more information about the available Windows® Installer options, see http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/.
