Troubleshooting: Installation problems introduced by previously installed version of DB2

Problem

You have a previous version of DB2 installed on your machine, and encounter installation errors when installing WebSphere Commerce.

Solution

• Ensure that all previous databases were properly dropped and uncataloged.
