Sungard EAS 10.0 - Client Installation

For those of you that might being trying to build an application package for Sungard EAS, I had to work with Sungard to get the unofficial means by which to install the package silently.

The steps come down to:

1. Install the package normally from the Setup.exe (Installshield) package given by Sungard.
2. Retrieve the EAS Client.msi file from c:\windows\Downloaded Installations\{packageGuid}\EAS Client.msi.
3. Use Wise Packager to build a Transform file for the msi package.
4. Launch "msiexec.exe /i "Eas Client.msi" /qb TRANSFORMS=NewTransform.mst"

This should perform the installation as desired.

For my specific package, because there will be an update from version 8.2 to 10.0, I have added a line to delete the older C:\Windows\EASClnt.ini file. This should work to keep things from causing issues with the update itself.

Good luck
