Go to the Store menu and select "Create App Packages" (or similar - I am doing it in full VS, I think it should be similar in Express). Create a package and select an option to not save it to the store. When it is done - you should get a link to a folder where the package is saved together with a PowerShell script to install it. Just copy the whole package to a machine where you want to deploy it and run the script on that machine.

This is a developer option that requires typing in your free developer account credentials on the test machine, but might be easier than the other option of enterprise sideloading, which I am not too familiar with.
