Well, here at least, you seem to be breaking the rules for passing the COMPONENTS arguments to the installer:
Quoting from installation_scripted.txt in your Firebird \doc folder:

/COMPONENTS="comma separated list of component names"

Choose from - ServerComponent,
ServerComponent\SuperServerComponent,
ServerComponent\ClassicServerComponent,
DevAdminComponent and
ClientComponent

Overrides the default components settings. Using
this command line parameter causes Setup to
automatically select a custom type. A full install
requires combining components. For example:

/COMPONENTS="ServerComponent,
ServerComponent\SuperServerComponent,
DevAdminComponent,ClientComponent"

would be required for a full install of the SuperServer.

Attention!!! The parser stops when it reaches white space. For example
this will fail to install the second component:

/COMPONENTS="DevAdminComponent, ClientComponent"

Make sure that your component list is _only_ separated by commas.
