One like this drove me nuts last week.

Try making your backslashes double backslashes!

Are the options specified in a file? Don't do it all on the command line.
For example: (this is 6.1; names might be different in 7.0)

C:\Cases>cat 350475\installer.properties
INSTALLER_UI=silent
USER_LOCALE=en
BEAHOME=C:\\BEA
USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\bea\\wlserver6.1
C_domainName=mydomain
C_serverName=myserver
C_serverListenPort=7001
C_serverSSLListenPort=7002
INSTALL_NT_SERVICE=no
C_password=weblogic

server700_win32.exe -f C:\mypath\installer.properties

Good Luck,
