I don't recommend using SQL Server. This is a hard work.
If you wish to perform a full automation, you need to cover the following issues:

1. Detection of different version of OS: XP, Win7, Win8, Win10
2. Detection of existence of .NET Framework
3. Perform installation of required .NET Framework
4. Detection of 32 bit or 64 bit of Operating System
5. Need to include various version of installation files of SQL Server.
6. Need to append the correct syntax for different version SQL Server for unattended automatic installation.

I personally prefer SQLite or MySQL, which the installation process is much more simpler.
