command line uninstall of sql express 2005 paul

sql server msde: Another developer is writing the install/uninstall for our app and we're not
sure about the best way to uninstall the database component when the app is
uninstalled. Basically our app installs sql express 2005 ( + other .net stuff
) during install using the command line options and that works great. When it
comes to uninstall we have only one option at the moment - have the user go
to the control panel and manually uninstall the db. Is there an automated way
to remove the db from a machine or a way to issue a batchfile command w/
params? The user doesn't need to maintain this special db instance so want to
remove it automatically.

thanks,
