Description
We want to automate deployment of perfview to new machines. Currently presents installation reuires several clicks.
It would be very nice to have a way to automate it. For example like this:
PerfView.exe installPresets \\NetworkPath\folder\presets-for-out-cool-product.xml

Research direction
Start at PerfView.exe's command-line entry point and locate the existing preset installation flow used by the interactive UI. Trace how an installPresets argument could accept the provided network XML path, then verify that preset installation completes without clicks and preserves the existing interactive behavior.
