Hi. I've encountered this when CX had been installed and removed - seems to retain the content store settings. Try the following command line entries (might be worth making a backup of the server in case something goes terribly wrong). Once you run these commands you should be able to install CX without the error message popping up).

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Informix\DBMS /F
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Informix\DBMS /F
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Informix\Online\cm_ids_svr_custom /F
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Informix\SQLHOSTS\cm_ids_svr_custom /F
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Informix\SQLHOSTS\cm_ids_svr_custom_drda /F
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Informix\Online\cm_ids_svr_custom /F
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Informix\SQLHOSTS\cm_ids_svr_custom /F
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Informix\SQLHOSTS\cm_ids_svr_custom_drda /F

net user informix /delete
