Install SQL Server Express 2008 with Management Studio

Is there a way to create an install that installs SQL Server Express 2008 with the Management Studio also?

The way I did it is that I packaged up the SQL2008Express and ManagementStudio installers into a setup package, used the pre-requisites to distribute all the necessary stuff (MSI 4.5, .NET 3.5 SP1, PowerShell), and used InstallScript to execute a command-line installation of the two packages so I could pass through the desired arguments (instance name, sa pwd, etc.)
