Hi, using PowerShell you won't need admin permissions to enumerate this. In my installer I start a new process which hosts a PowerShell runspace. The new process is required because the Burn bootstrapper does not run as X64 process. However, this is required for the ServerManager snapin. The process just enumerates the features and writes them to stdout. This response is then collected by the bootstrapper.
