Research direction

Start with the SqlSetup resource and trace how the parent SQL feature parameter is processed for SQL Server Database Engine, Replication, Full text, and Data Quality Server. No file or test is identified in the issue; done means either supporting SQL as a parent feature or reporting a clear error that directs users to the child parameters.
