Try doing the measurements, in circuit? By this, I mean measuring
both the voltage across it, in parallel, when in-circuit and
measuring the current through it (meter set to measure at least 7A,
which is what 100W suggests) using a series arrangement. The two
will tell you what you need to know: R=V/I.

The measurement I am taking requires a value for the resistor itself,
independant of reactive elements in the circuit. As such, I need to
measure the resistance out of circuit.

Use a DC circuit to indirectly measure the reistance as described (roughly)
above.
