Silent Install SQL Express 2008

I have installshield 2009 pro. Got everything to work perfect except the sql server. Done the following:
Went to redistributables and selected Microsoft sql server 2008

installs but it doesnt run silent and asks the user to input many things during sql installation. I am sure there is a silent installer that i can run or add a script. I right clicked on sql server 2008 redist. and there is a tab Application to run where iI can place command line and silent mode line but i dont know what to place there. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
