run the installer and when it askes to give your server a name, give it a different name than SQLEXPRESS

Additionally, if you want to work with the two instances simultaneously you must set up different listening ports for them.

So should i run the setup again? Or is there any other method by which i can install new instance(named instance) by using already installed sql server.

Run setup again, it is the only way to install a new server (instance)

If i go to SQL Server Installation Center and click on Installation hyperlink and then on new installation.. then it asks for installation media.(from link http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/F6C35A03-B98C-46F1-8010-0A76DF8773D5)
Can i install new instance from this without using new setup file?
I required this because some of my customers already have sql server 2008 express installed. What i want is new instance on their computer.So downloading setup again is a problem.So i was interested in installing it from existing installation.

You need the media, so either combine it within your application to do an install when they install your app or manually download it and install.
