1. Your BA should *never* modify the machine state. 2. Put all modifications to machine state in packages. We wanted to create a "WindowsComponentPackage" or "WindowsRolePackage" (or something) that you could put in a Burn Chain to turn on Windows components but didn't have time to get it done in WiX v3.6. So you'll have to use a package of your own creation. Either one of your existing MSIs or a new MSI specially designed to turn on Windows components.
