I'm installing Service Pack 3 with the command

setup /upgradesp sqlrun INSTANCENAME=home DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 /L*v
install.log

(taken from KB815013).

I get two error messages, first "This product is not installed. Check if an
appropriate instance of MSDE is installed", followed by "Could not find a
package to install on the installation media." I have two instances of MSDE
installed, "Home" and "Home\Test". Both use Windows authentication. Are
there any thoughts?

as "Home" is the default instance, in order to upgrade it you don't have to
pass the name of it, as it' not needed for default instances...
you have to pass INSTANCENAME=Home\Test to upgrade the named instance
