Installing IIS with c# via DISM. DISM runs but doesn't install

Question

I'm trying to install IIS via command line from c# using the below code. When executed, it appears to run without error but when I check programs and features, IIS isn't installed. I've looked through my code and can't find any problems with it. Figured maybe someone here could see something I didn't.

string command = "START /WAIT DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility /FeatureName:IIS-ManagementConsole /FeatureName:IIS-Metabase /FeatureName:IIS-ApplicationDevelopment /FeatureName:IIS-NetFxExtensibility /FeatureName:IIS-ASP /FeatureName:IIS-ASPNET /FeatureName:IIS-ISAPIExtensions /FeatureName:IIS-ISAPIFilter /FeatureName:IIS-CommonHttpFeatures /FeatureName:IIS-DefaultDocument /FeatureName:IIS-IIS6ManagementConsole /FeatureName:IIS-StaticContent /FeatureName:IIS-WebServer /FeatureName:IIS-WebServerRole";
                ProcessStartInfo pStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("c:\\windows\\sysnative\\cmd.exe", "/c " + command);
                Process p = new Process();
                p.StartInfo = pStartInfo;
                p.Start();
                p.WaitForExit();

Side note: you do know that the reason why they split IIS up into multiple modules is so that you don't have to enable parts you're not going to use and so can minimize the attack surface that is exposed on the server. Do you really need to install `IIS + Kitchen Sink`? — Damien_The_Unbeliever, Aug 15 '16 at 14:41
Unfortunately, for my purposes, each module listed is needed. — Joe, Aug 15 '16 at 14:43
No. Same result. Looks like it's running, but nothing installs. — Joe, Aug 15 '16 at 15:19
What does `Dism /online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:IIS-WebServer` output ? — PaulB, Aug 15 '16 at 15:26
It gives me all the indicators that it went through fine even saying it completed successfully, but still nothing installed. Ran as admin and rebooted. — Joe, Aug 15 '16 at 15:33
