Install Package for VB.Net Express - How To

I need to know how to create an installer package for a program written in
VB.Net Express. It apparently is not the same as the regular VB.Net for
purchase. I have looked at Microsoft's site and other newsgroups to discover
how to do this, but after many hours of research without finding this
information, I decided to ask.

Express edition does not support this. The Express editions are targetted
to hobbyist programmers and non-professional development, so it's very
unlikely that users out of this group will have the requirement to
distribute their applications.

You might be able to use the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System instead
(for Express deployment).

I am trying to create a silent install for the free version of Visual Basic Express. Currently I am working on creating an msi, but it keeps failing to install the program on my virtual machine. I would like to know if there are any command line parameters I could pass through to make it install sillently or any way to create an unattended install. I ask to do this because I have to deploy this to our offices in overseas. Thanks.
