Description
Brief description of your issue
When a winget configuration calls the DSC resource PSDscResources/WindowsOptionalFeature it will error with with message Class not registered
Steps to reproduce
Author a configuration with the following resource:
- resource: PSDscResources/WindowsOptionalFeature
id: removeWindowsMediaPlayer
directives:
description: Uninstall Windows Media removeWindowsMediaPlayer
settings:
name: WindowsMediaPlayer
ensure: Absent
Expected behavior
Configuration succeeds and the optional feature is removed.
Actual behavior
Errors with Class not registered
From the winget logs this is happening on line 286 of the DSC resource
When running the same command in PowerShell the command succeeds without error:
Is winget using a different version of Dism than the PowerShell module is?
This happens on Windows 10 and Windows 11, PowerShell version 5.1 or 7.4

Reproduce the issue with the provided winget configuration using PSDscResources/WindowsOptionalFeature and compare it with the equivalent PowerShell command.

Done means the optional feature is removed successfully without the Class not registered error on the reported Windows versions.
