Missing Windows Authentication Feature

There's anyway to install/enable IIS Windows Authentication when it's missing in "Turn Windows Features On or Off" menu?

I'm running an Win8 machine in a Local Workgroup.

Does your version of Windows 8 even support IIS? Some versions of Windows does not support installing IIS on them for a many reasons including Microsoft being forced to remove features by govnernments. – Ramhound – 2012-10-02T14:20:02.327

You could also try the Web Platform Installer http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx

I looked under "Turn Windows Features On or Off" and it seems to be there (right at the bottom):

Can you please confirm that it does not exist in the location pictured above?

This is because the version of Windows 8 you have installed, to see this option you must have Windows 8 Pro/Enterprise Edition
