Installing VS Express software using Group Policy

I work for a school and we recently decided to start a programming class.  I would like to know of an easy way to install VS Express software via Group Policy to multiple computers.  If the installer was an MSI file it would be easy.  Is there an msi file for these programs   If not is there another free way to do this

    I wouldn't install it from group policy it will chew the bandwidth between the machines. One way would be to use SMS, but as you are looking for a free solution I would still stay with the method of visiting the machines... as you would only need to do this at the start of the class you may also be able to use this as the first 30 min of the class and teach them to install and configure their development environment.

    Bandwidth would not be an issue since the install would be to a machine (not a user) in the middle of the night when no one is at the school.

    As for teaching them how to install it, that might not be a bad idea ... I will suggest it to the teacher.  If she is not intrested though I am still open to ideas.
