Also, how would I create an alias to it on the Desktop?

This code snippet will make an alias of the Safari app on the user's desktop

set theDesktop to path to desktop
tell application "Finder"
make new alias file at theDesktop to alias "Macintosh [NOBREAK]
HD:Applications:Safari.app:"
end tell

An implicit path is better for portability. (A very redundant problem!)
So, try:

tell app "Finder" to set x to application file id "sfri"
tell app "Finder" to make new alias file at desktop to x as alias

Kind regards,
