Universal fix packs support has been extended (Windows)

Starting with Version 9.7, you have two choices on the Windows operating systems for installing a fix pack: a universal fix pack, which applies to all products, or a product-specific fix pack.

You can use a universal fix pack to service multiple DB2® products installed in an installation path. On Linux and UNIX operating systems, to upgrade a single product or to install a product in a new path, use a product-specific fix pack. For Windows operating systems, you can use the universal image to install DB2 to a new location.

You do not need a universal fix pack if the installed DB2 products are only DB2 server products or a Data Server Client. In this case, use the single server image fix pack.

Universal fix packs were already available on Linux and UNIX platforms.
