The current (April 2019) beta installer takes an argument to run silently but unfortunately uses the flawed SQL Server Express 2014 implementation which prompts for a location for the extracted files. So...let it extract then copy the folder somewhere safe and then run the standard SQL Server 2014 silent installation:
"%~dp0setup" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /HIDECONSOLE /INSTANCEID="DesignSap" /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES=SQLENGINE /HELP="False" /INDICATEPROGRESS="False" /QUIET="True" /QUIETSIMPLE="False" /ERRORREPORTING="False" /SQMREPORTING="False" /INSTANCENAME="DesignSap" /AGTSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Manual" /ISSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /ISSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" /ASSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /ASCOLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AS" /ASDATADIR="Data" /ASLOGDIR="Log" /ASBACKUPDIR="Backup" /ASTEMPDIR="Temp" /ASCONFIGDIR="Config" /ASPROVIDERMSOLAP="1" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /FILESTREAMLEVEL="0" /ENABLERANU="True" /SQLCOLLATION="SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True" /TCPENABLED="0" /NPENABLED="0" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Disabled" /RSSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /RSINSTALLMODE="FilesOnlyMode" /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD="gpT36RxMWKrpUNx"
To uninstall:
:: Stop the SQL instance
net stop MSSQL$DESIGNSAP
:: [insert your favoured method for detecting a stopped service here]
:: Run the set-up stub on the local machine
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2014\setup.exe" /ACTION="Uninstall" /QUIET="True" /QUIETSIMPLE="False" /INSTANCENAME="DESIGNSAP" /FEATURES="SQLENGINE"
Note that the command line to the stub has to include the '/FEATURES' argument, as it's too dumb to work out what it installed.
