SaRA scripted install
I copied the content of the path where the applications is stored under appdata. Uinstalled, and started the applications from the Microsoft.sara.exe file. It worked!
Install the application and run it. Open taskmanager, and right click the app, then press open location:So now i guess you can create a shortcut to the exe poiting to a network path or create a pacakge somehow.
Thanks Alexander.
Yes, I really need a silent install which is why the web package is a problem. I need an offline MSI or EXE but can't find one for this install which is very frustrating. I'm hoping someone knows where to find it or maybe generate it from the web installed.
Invoking the setup from PowerShell isn't the problem but I appreciate your time to reply.
Im further down the rabbit hole. Looks like this is a click once application. Installs under AppData\Local\Apps\2.0. I tried copying the files, and the applications reference(shortcut) before uinstalling, then puttign the files back where they where. When running the application reference, it just tries to download the application again.
Maybe on to something here:

I moved the Microsoft.Sara.exe to another machine and running it alone does nothing.
The whole folder is 100MB but zips up to 20MB. Moving this to another machine and running it after uncompressing works so I guess my script will need to do that.
Next step is write the deployment script but it's looking good so I'll mark your reply as the best answer.
Thanks again.
