Client Installs

Has someone developed an automated way to install and configure the Informix client connection software? We have more and more people beginning to use our data warehouse. Setting up their desktop machines to connect to Informix is a problem. They install the Informix software and then must go into SETNET32 to set environment variables and then edit the HOSTS and SERVICES files to make the correct entries there. There must be a simpler, more fool-proof way of setting up the Informix client environment. Most of our clients are on Windows 95 machines and using Business Objects to query to the warehouse. Suggestions will be appreciated.
