Is it possible to update existing SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services RTM to SP1 using the SP1 SQLEXPRADV_x64.exe?

Question

I'm creating an installer that configures a SQL Server instance, and I'm trying to allow for it to update an existing installation if it is RTM. I tried with /Action=Upgrade with no success. Same story with /Action=Install.

Is there any way I can do this?

I've found a solution.

I needed to use this command line:

SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe /Action=Patch /InstanceName=[InstanceName] /Q /IAcceptSqlServerLicenseTerms

Also, you can use /AllInstances if you want to update all instances on the server.
