We package SQL Express as a prerequisite using .NET bootstrapper. You can find the package if you have the SDK installed somewhere like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages
We needed to make some modifications to the default package details to provide a SQL instance name and such. They are just hard-coded as command-line parameters passed to the SQL installer. I don't know if that works for you. The http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/bmg Bootstrapper Manifest Generator is very helpful for generating parts of the package manifest.
