When running SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe directly SQL Installation Center shows up and I can install SQLEXPRESS just fine. I want to perform automatic command line install so I have done the SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe /X to extract the files to my USB drive. I have no luck getting setup to run from command line or no idea how to trouble shoot. There are no logs produced in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Command Line:
"D:#Setup Large Software Packages\SQLEXPRADV\setup.exe" /qs /ACTION=Install /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /ROLE=ALLFeatures_WithDefaults /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN
Result:

When batch terminates I get following:
Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: path1

I have followed:
BLOG: SQL 2012 Unattended Install Scripts - did not work.
MSDN: Install SQL Server 2012 from the Command Prompt - 100's of options could spend year playing with them.
What is the correct command line to install SQLEXPRESS with ALL features after extracting files from SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe?
