Following is the script part I use (I use Inno Setup, but it maybe helps
you), but in this case, it´s not necesary install first the odbc with
the setup, you just have to copy and register files. Note I´ve included
the fbclient.dll file also, so I don't need to install the ODBC neither
the Firebird Client using the original installers.

[Files]
Source: ..\DLL Firebird\fbclient.dll; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: sharedfile
Source: ..\DLL Firebird\IscDbc.dll; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion
deleteafterinstall
Source: ..\DLL Firebird\OdbcJdbc.dll; DestDir: {app}; Flags:
ignoreversion deleteafterinstall
Source: ..\DLL Firebird\OdbcJdbcSetup.dll; DestDir: {app}; Flags:
ignoreversion deleteafterinstall

[Run]
Filename: {sys}\regsvr32.exe; Parameters: "/s ""{app}""\OdbcJdbcSetup.dll"

I even create the DSN from InnoSetup, and work seamless.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards
