[wix-users] Download URL for using RemotePayload to install SQL Express

I created a bundle which installs SQL Express 2012 SP2 for x64 or x86 (and several locales) each requiring a separate Microsoft setup.  While that is working, I am trying to convert to use RemotePayload, so that I do not have to stage the Microsoft bundles with each build on my web deployment server.  This is my first serious attempt to use RemotePayload.  I harvested the RemotePayload attributes using heat.exe, but how do I come up with a correct download url for Microsoft's server?

I assume it should be a go.microsoft.com/fwlink  URL, but I have never understood how to find these.  And as I post this question I am told that I should use SQL Express 2014 (rather than 2012 SP2).  I assume that the general 'how to find fwlinks?' will apply to either.   Thanks for the assistance! Phill
