First make sure in power shell you have ran the following commands
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS
Once done restart the server.
Then I installed the .net 4.5 framework which can be found here.
You also need the windows managment framework which is here
Then you will need a restart.
Once rebooted drop to power shell and run the commands below, we need to install the Server Manager Module so we can run the subsequent commands.
Import-Module ServerManager
Then ( copy and paste )
Add-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience, NET-Framework, NET-HTTP-Activation, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy, RSAT-Clustering, RSAT-Web-Server, WAS-Process-Model, Web-Asp-Net, Web-Basic-Auth, Web-Client-Auth, Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Dir-Browsing, Web-Dyn-Compression, Web-Http-Errors, Web-Http-Logging, Web-Http-Redirect, Web-Http-Tracing, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-ISAPI-Filter, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-Metabase, Web-Mgmt-Console, Web-Mgmt-Service, Web-Net-Ext, Web-Request-Monitor, Web-Server, Web-Stat-Compression, Web-Static-Content, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-WMI
You again need to reboot your server. Once done you can now run the setup command from poewrshell and the install will commence.
