IBM DB2 .NET Data Provider 9.7

The IBM DB2 .NET Data Provider 9.7 has both the data provider for .NET 4.0 AND Add-in for Visual Studio 2010. But you need to install the FP4. I installed the original and upgraded to FP3a and then FP4, and it didn't work properly (can not see IBM driver in the list, testconn20 and testconn40 both are not working). So a clean install of FP4 is the most reliable way.
Another thing is the tools needs admin priviledges. If you don't run VS under admin or (most of) the tools under admin, they just disappear or report reason code 10.
