Running Toad Data Point on Windows 7 and Windows 8 threw an issue with one of the IBM DB2 features called “Configure .NET Data Provider”. This does not appear to work under Windows 7 or 8.
Note: The program compatibility assistant came up when trying to launch it in Windows 7.
1. Make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Service Pack 1)
Note: The following conditions apply concerning .NET:
a. In Windows XP, if you have the .NET Framework 4.0 installed, you must still install the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
b. The .NET Framework Client Profile is not supported.
c. To run Toad, the .NET security policy must be set to unrestricted. See "User Requirements and Restrictions for Running Toad " for more information.
2. If you have a 64-bit "DB2 Client" installed, you must install Toad using the ToadDataPoint_64bit_Client.exe.
