Note
If trying to deploy to Windows 7 you will recieve the "Program Compatibility Assistant" and will be told this is not compatable and needs SP1 loaded after the completed install.

To get around this you can click on the option "Dont show this message again" then exit out of the install. This created a reg. file that can be imported ahead of time to stop this notifaction. see link below:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931709/en-gb

Here's my reg. example:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags]
"{f2d3ae3a-bfcc-45e2-bf63-178d1db34294}"=dword:00000004

Note

One thing i noticed while deploying SQL Express 08 is that it does not like using %~dp0 from within an install script, i had to revert to calling a UNC path from within the install script.

IE:

@echo off
\\<FileServer\SourceDirectory>\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /FEATURES=SQLEngine /INSTANCENAME=EXAMPLE1 /SQLCOLLATION=Latin1_General_BIN /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS" /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms="True"  /Q
exit
