Puppet users - Mar 2013 - Copying a 900 mb file to Windows !!!

Hi,

I am writing a puppet manifest to install a service pack on windows, what I
observe is that in case the exe file is withing 50 - 70 Mb the transfer to
windows happens without any issues. But the current service pack
"windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" is around 900 Mb. My manifest is as
follows

        file { ''c:/temp/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe'':
        ensure => ''file'',
        mode => ''0755'',
        owner => ''Administrator'',
        group => ''Administrators'',
        source =>
''puppet:///modules/hotfix/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe'',
        }
I am getting the error below

err:
/Stage[main]/Hotfix::Win2k8x64_sp1/File[c:/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe]/ensure:
change from absent to file failed: Could not set ''file on ensure: end
of
file reached at /etc/puppet/modules/hotfix/manifests/win2k8x64_sp1.pp:26

Please suggest....

I wouldn''t even do this with a file resource. I''d write a
small script to
pull it down from a web server and install it then have puppet run that as 
an exec. I''d also have the script remove the update when it''s
done since
you probably don''t want 900mb on disk for no reason.

Tks for your reply joe..

The windows machine in this case is a VM.. so I guess I will update the
template with SP1 instead of installing it on the fly.

Thanks and Regards,

I do it with an exec resource using PowerShell provider and get-webfile. Works
well and fast.  If interested I can post the implementation details.

That will be really great.

Awaiting the implementation details from your side.

exec { ''dlfile'':
    command   => ''. X:\tools\Get-WebFile.ps1 ; get-webfile
http://myurl.com/file.zip c:\file.zip'',
    provider  => powershell
  }

I am using the poweshell provider by Josh Cooper and get-webfile is on
http://poshcode.com/3920

Tweak line 134 from 4096 to 1048576 to make it go a ton faster. Obviously you
can deploy the script via a separate file resource.
