Paint

The following is an example of using the Windows feature type in a paint section:

{
    "paint": [
        {
            "type": "windows-feature",
            "ensure": "install",
            "includeSubFeatures": false,
            "includeManagementTools": true,
            "names": [
                "Web-Server"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

The above will attempt to install Web-Server (IIS), and all of it's management tools, onto the current machine. None of the sub-modules will be installed.

Erase

The following is an example of using the Windows feature type in a erase section:

{
    "erase": [
        {
            "type": "windows-feature",
            "ensure": "uninstall",
            "includeManagementTools": true,
            "names": [
                "Web-Server"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

The above will attempt to uninstall Web-Server (IIS), and all of it's management tools, from the current machine.
