The microsoft documentation can be found here Install SQL Server Express 2012 from Command Line. The main options for a silent install are /Q (silent install without user interface) and /QS (shows progress but without the possibility of any user interaction).

I am trying to silent install SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU) through a WPF application but I'm having some difficulties.
When the application runs it extracts the setup files, but seems to just skip all the rest and doesn't install anything. I also get no error messages. Below are the arguments i'm passing in. Any help on what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
