Yesterday, there have been a couple of reports of problems with the driver immediately after upgrades to the ibm_db gem version 0.9.0 on Microsoft Windows. The error reported is analogous to the following:
gem 'ibm_db'
require 'mswin32/ibm_db'
LoadError: 14001: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.
Or in other cases:
LoadError: 14001: This application has failed to start because the application
configurationis incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
If you haven’t received this type of error message, your installation is working and stable. For those few of you who experienced this problem, I want to let you know that this issue is actively being investigated and the proposed solution is being thoroughly tested. Since the error above does not only concern our driver (other applications are raising similar errors on Windows), it appears that the problem is related to the lack or misconfiguration of the VC8 runtime.
Those of you who received an error message, can try to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) and try again. This ensures that the VC8 runtime is configured in order to support the new DB2 CLI binary dependencies related to the “native assembly cache (also called WinSxS folder)”. This solved the problem in our preliminary tests. Please use the comments to tell us if this worked for you.
