SQL Express 2014 Silent install fails when called from Installshield Prerequisite

Hello,

I am upgrading SQL Express 2005 SP4 to SQL Express 2014 by silent install. It installs when I use command line method but when I tried to use same commands in the Installshield prerequisite, it fails.

Commands I am using for upgrade are:
SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /ISSVCAccount="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS

Silent commands are also not working when those are launched from Installshield prerequisite for fresh installation of SQL Express 2014.
Commands for fresh installs are:
SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe /Q /ACTION=INSTALL /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=" " /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /TCPENABLED=1 /NPENABLED=1 /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS

Silent commands provided by MS SQL are working with Installshield prerequisite with SQL express 2005.

To get rid of this , I tried to call a bat file from Installshield prerequisite which will call SQL Express 2014 setup silently but here a empty command window is displayed until installation finishes.

Have others reported this?

Any suggestions of how to silent install SQL Express 2014 from Installshield Prerequisite.

-Thanks
