Why? SaRa is intended for limited problem cases.

This is a Trouble shooting tool specifically for Outlook, with a minor support of Office install problems

SaRA runs tests to figure out what's wrong. It can fix many problems for you, or it can tell you how to fix them yourself.

Go to the SaRa page

At the bottom there is a section about how to submit feedback. Ask them for a silent install mode.

This page has "command line parameters" for all of the main Office applications. Look in each one for the "silent install".  I looked in word and did not find one.

MS often reuses components in Office. If you are lucky, they will reuse a "silent install" mode from another Office application. 

Here are a couple of links for doing silent install in Office. See if any of the techniques they suggest work.  Google Office Silent Install to find more.

I also took a look at the MS Office Deployment Toolkit. Unfortunately it does not mention SaRa.  You could ask them to make an enhancement to add it to the toolkit.
