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.
