How to deploye SQL 2005 Express with my application

Hello,

I have an application that uses SQL Server express. I'd like to be able to
package the SQL Server Express set up file and deploy it with my application
but all the searching I've done only tells me how to deploy SQL Server
Express manually (i.e. how to set it up yourself). I can script my set up
to see if an instance of SQL Server Express already exists but if it
doesn't, I'd like to know the best way to deploy this on the target machine
automatically.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Rick
