How to create SQL Server Express server (INSTANCENAME) programmatically?

In deploying SQL Express, how do I create a new server (INSTANCENAME)
programmatically?
What would be the best approach to accomplish this.

Thank you so much,

You should look in Books Online under installing SQL Server, and
particularly unattended installation.
