|||When a parameter includes space characters, you need quote with " or '. For example, the browser account should be specified as SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE " or SQLBROWSERACCOUNT='NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'
Note, this account is localized on some localized operating system. You need to use the localized version if required. In addition, MSDE already has its SP4. So please use MSDE SP4 directly.
The following are two command lines that may be useful to you.
1. Install MSDE SP4.
start /wait setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=msde4instance SAPWD="<password>" SECURITYMODE=SQL
2. Upgrade to SQL 2005 SP1.
start /wait setup.exe UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=msdesp4instance SAPWD=""<password>" SECURITYMODE=SQL
