SQL-Server-2008

I have developed a vb.net winform project that uses a sql server 2008 express database, when the application starts it searches for the database. I want to know how can I search for the actual program sql server 2008 express when the application starts up? I want to tell the user to install it if it is not there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
