How to resolve error "The application failed to start because DB2CLI.dll was not found"

DB2CLI.DLL is a part of DB2 server or client components that is required for using Intelligent Converters software. Check that you have DB2 client or server components installed on the same machine where you run the application from. Also please make sure that the path to DB2 components folder is in PATH system variable.

To check the PATH variable:

If you made changes to the system PATH variable, restart the application that was generating the error and check if the issue is resolved. If the DB2CLI.dll file is still missing or the error persists, try reinstalling DB2 server or client components. Download the appropriate package from the IBM website, run the installer, and follow the installation instructions. This should ensure that all necessary files, including DB2CLI.dll, are correctly installed on your system.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact IBM support or consult relevant technical forums for further assistance.
