Is it possible to connect to an Informix database without having to run the Informix SDK installer to get the driver?
I want to avoid any extra installation steps and was hoping there would be a Nuget package containing a stand-alone/self hosted driver.

I believe there were some plans to create a NuGet package with all the required CSDK libraries, but it doesn't exist yet.
You can install CSDK once, and then create a zip with the contents of INFORMIXDIR. The CSDK .NET provider will work without needing anything from the registry (assuming it has INFORMIXDIR and PATH environment variables correctly set).
