I would guess you'd have to write a custom action to investigate what they
had installed and set it to a variable (like you suggested).
However, just because someone has Sql Server or Sql Express doesn't
guarantee that it will just be [COMPUTERNAME] or [COMPUTERNAME]\SQLEXPRESS.
You can install either of those products to any name you want.
