Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive using PowerShell

Question

I am trying to install web deploy on windows server using PowerShell. So I have this script.

$temp_path = "c:\azuredata\"

$wd_installer_url = "https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/D/01DC28EA-638C-4A22-A57B-4CEF97755C6C/WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi"

$wd_installer_file = $temp_path + [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName( $wd_installer_url )

$DataStamp = get-date -Format yyyyMMddTHHmmss
$logFile = '{0}-{1}.log' -f $wd_installer_file,$DataStamp

$MSIArguments = @(
    "/i"
    ('"{0}"' -f $wd_installer_file)
    "/qn"
    "/norestart"
    "/L*v"
    $logFile
)
Start-Process "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList $MSIArguments -Wait -NoNewWindow

The webdeploy tool is installed. But when I look into it, all the features are not installed.

Modify web deploy tool.

Click change

Select the features.

As you can see all the features are not installed. Now matter how I manipulate the argument list of the powershell command, its not installing it fully. I had to later do this manually. Tried replacing /i with /a. But it did not help.

$MSIArguments = @(
    "/i"
    ('"{0}"' -f $wd_installer_file)
    "/qn"
    "/norestart"
    "/L*v"
    $logFile
)

I am sure there must be a way for this. My automation workflow is stuck because of this. Any ideas what can be done? Looked into this document, but no clue.

Could you use ADDLOCAL=ALL? Something like (untested - on mobile):

$MSIArguments = @(
    "/i"
    ('"{0}"' -f $wd_installer_file)
    "/qn"
    "/norestart"
    "ADDLOCAL=ALL"
    "/L*v"
    $logFile
)

Here is the ms docs reference.
