You need to make sure your PATH is pointing to the correct folder, OR you just simply copy the db2app.dll to the bin folder of your application.

Good luck!

Thanks for the response. Copying the dll to my application bin folder did not resolved the issue still seeing the same error, is there any other way to resolve it?

There is the debug\bin and release\bin ...

Yeah even copying the dlls did not work so I uninstall DB2 and installed back so that this time its pointing to correct folder Program Files rather than x86 folder and my application is running without issues. Thank you for the response.

Uninstall and install DB2 make sure it gets installed in Program Files folder rather than Program Files(x86) folder and application would be running successfully without any issues.
