Suite: Installer trying to enable NetFx3

We have a Suite installer project and are using it to enable a few Windows Features and Roles. We do not try to enable NetFx3ServerFeatures or NetFx3 however in the log it shows Installshield trying to enable it anyway. None of the Features we want to enable rely on it or are dependent on it being enabled. This fails on Windows Server 2019 because NetFx3 can't be enabled. We don't want it, don't need it, and are blocked by this because I don't know how to force Installshield to stop trying to enable it.

From the log, looks like you have enabled 'IIS-WebServerRole' (Internet Information Services) feature.
8-27-2019[11:20:54 AM]: Getting feature list for initial feature items 'IIS-WebServerRole'

8-27-2019[11:20:54 AM]: Getting feature items for OS version 1000 (Server)

8-27-2019[11:20:54 AM]: Final feature list for current item is: NetFx3ServerFeatures;NetFx3;IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-Security;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;NetFx4Extended-ASPNET45;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASPNET
This feature has dependency on NetFx3. You can open your project (.issuite) file and refer below nodes.
<WindowsFeaturesDefinitions>

<IIS-WebServerRole>

<DependsOn>NetFx3</DependsOn>

.....

</IIS-WebServerRole>

</WindowsFeaturesDefinitions>
I am not sure you still need .Net 3.5 dependency on IIS feature on other operating systems and I have not tried if you can remove this dependency from your suite project.
You can refer below link for more information

Some more information below if it helps for this issue:
If you still need .net 3.5 for other OS, you can add .net 3.5 pre-requisite as a package to your project and this gets added as dependency package. You can control exit behavior (on failures) of this package by simply ignoring and choosing setup to continue.

    Thank you so much, that information was helpful. NET Framework 3.5 isn't a dependency anymore, on that OS at least. I have no trouble enabling the WebServerRole feature directly with DISM without enabling NetFX3. I did your suggestion and removed the dependency from my suite project file. It did get me passed that error and doesn't add it to the feature list anymore.
    I ran into another error ->
    8-28-2019[01:38:32 PM]: Failed to DismEnableFeature (IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-Security;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;NetFx4Extended-ASPNET45;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASPNET): error 0xc004000d, 'One or several parent features are disabled so current feature can not be enabled.
    But that was easy to track down. IIS-NetFxExtensibility and IIS-ASPNET are reliant on NetFx3. So removing all mentions of those as well from the WindowsFeaturesDefinitions section got rid of that error. We have a lot more features than IIS-WebServerRole to enable, I had just simplified the project down to only that one while I figured out how to get around these errors. With those changes to the project file I was able to add back our full feature list and everything is enabling just fine now!
