In my c# windows application i following link to install IIS in windows 10.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32097336/programmatically-enable-install-iis

if i follow PkgMgr it will install IIS and and enable some features. But if i want to enable WIndows Authentication, Anonyamous Authentication, Static Content compression, Dynamic content compression what changes need to do

This url is about windows 8. But i want window 10

Below i am giving my code

string pkg = "start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-NetFxExtensibility45;IIS-ASPNET45;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-Security;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI";

ProcessStartInfo pStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/c " + pkg);
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = pStartInfo;
p.Start();

    You can also try install IIS with PowerShell: 

    # This script installs IIS and the features required to  
#  
# * Make sure you run this script from a Powershel Admin Prompt!  
# * Make sure Powershell Execution Policy is bypassed to run these scripts:  
# * YOU MAY HAVE TO RUN THIS COMMAND PRIOR TO RUNNING THIS SCRIPT!  
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process  
  
# To list all Windows Features: dism /online /Get-Features  
# Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online   
# LIST All IIS FEATURES:   
# Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online | where FeatureName -like 'IIS-*'

    WIndows Authentication, Anonyamous Authentication etc. these options can be enabled through Server Manager under "Add Roles and Features" easily instead enable it via command. You just needs to select these features in Server Manager and proceed
