IBM Informix Connect

This is a silent installer for IBM Informix Connect.

IBM Informix Connect is a connection tool (ODBC, ...) to the Informix SQL database, now owned by IBM (so the brand).

I install it with the following xml package description:

<package
        id="informix-connect"
        name="IBM Informix-Connect"
        revision="2812"
        reboot="false"
        priority="0" >
 
        <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="IBM Informix-Connect" />
 
        <install cmd='msiexec /q /i "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\ICONN.2.81.TC2\IBM Informix-Connect.msi" allusers=1' />
        <upgrade cmd='msiexec /q /i "%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\ICONN.2.81.TC2\IBM Informix-Connect.msi" allusers=1' />
        <remove cmd='msiexec /q /x{4433F7BA-CEFD-11D6-B57A-00B0D07B9190}' />
</package>
 
<package
        id="informix-connect-settings"
        name="IBM Informix-Connect settings"
        revision="1"
        priority="5"
        reboot="false"
        execute="once">
        <depends package-id="informix-connect"/>
 
        <install cmd='%WPKGROOT%\packages\informix-connect.bat' />
        <upgrade cmd='%ProgramFiles%\Informix\Connect\bin\setnet32 -l %WPKGROOT%\packages\informix-connect.nfx'   />
        <remove cmd='echo "nothing"' />
</package>

where informix-connect.bat are:

 :: Setup client
 ::
 %ProgramFiles%\Informix\Connect\bin\setnet32 -l %WPKGROOT%\packages\informix-connect.nfx
 
 :: Add the service
 ::
 if not exist %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services.ifx (
        copy %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services.ifx
        echo sqlexec         1525/tcp                        # Informix's SQLExec >> %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services
 )

and informix-connect.nfx is a 'settings file' saved by the setnet32 utility.
