SQL server 2022 Express - Silent installation via Settings.xml

Question

I am trying install MS SQL server 2022 Express via sillent installation.
Firstly I launched graphical wizard to create configuration file. In version 2022 does not exists ConfigurationFile.ini anymore seems to be. It creates Settings.xml
**
I copied and edited the Settings.xml and changed these parameters:
QUIET and QUIETSIMPLE to have value True
UIMODE commented/disabled

Then I call from cmd:
D:\SQL2022\ExpressAdv_ENU>SETUP.EXE /ConfigurationFile=D:\SQL2022\Settings.xml

but still it opens GUI wizard.
Thank You for any help
