Take a look at ocsetup.exe; on Win2k8 you can run "ocsetup.exe Netfx3
/norestart /quiet" and it will install the feature. Win2012 might be the same
but if it is like Windows 8 you are stuck as the features are not built-in (I
haven't actually installed 2012 yet so don't know).
If it is not ocsetup it could be dcim or pkgmgr.
You can't call any of these directly from burn so I wrote shell app that I
could embed in burn to call them with the correct command line (I never
completely finished it as we decided it was easier to drop .NET 3.5 and go for
.NET 4.0). This is the code I had but it was written in .NET so might not any
good if 2012 doesn't have any .NET installed:
namespace OcsRunner
{
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
public class Program
{
public static int Main(string[] args)
{
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = "ocsetup.exe";
startInfo.Arguments = String.Join(" ", args) + " /norestart /quiet";
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
var p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = startInfo;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
return p.ExitCode;
}
}
}
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Prerequisites on Windows 2012 Server and the
Server Manager requirement
I didn't see an answer regarding this question and I'm sort of stuck on this.
Does anybody have an idea how to handle the different way Windows
2012 Server behaves if a prerequisite is defined as a server feature?
Thanks,
Hans
