use /qn instead of /qb

SQL Server OnlineHelp:
How to: Install SQL Server 2005 from the Command Prompt

The /qn switch suppresses all Setup dialog boxes and error messages. If the /qn switch is specified, all Setup messages, including error messages, are written to Setup log files. For more information about log files, see How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files9d77af64-9084-4375-908a-d90f99535062.

The /qb switch allows the display of basic Setup dialog boxes. Error messages are also displayed.
