The first thing to do would be to get a slient install of SQLServer 2005 working properly by launching it through a dos box... Does simply kicking off the SQL Server 2005 "setup.exe" with /s after it work for that?
If so, the first thing I'd do is remove the extra space you've added in your command line argument " /s" and make it "/s", although I doubt that this is the issue.

I install SQLExpress using the following:
szProgram = SUPPORTDIR ^ "Sqlexpr32.exe";
szCmdLine = " /q /qn INSTANCENAME=TEST_SQLEXPRESS ADDLOCAL=ALL SAPWD=xxxx SECURITYMODE=SQL";
LaunchAppAndWait(szProgram, szCmdLine, LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);
This install SQLExpress silently. You will need to determine the options for the option for the management studio.
