Puppet users - Nov 2011 - msi package provider: Invalid parameter install_options

C:\Users\ml623>puppet --version
2.7.7


Puppet complains about a package resource I am trying to use saying:

 Invalid parameter install_options

The resource is defined as:

package { "splunk":
     name => $gu_splunk::client::splunk_package,
     provider => ''msi'',
     ensure => installed,
     source =>
''C:\\TEMP\\splunk-4.2.4-110225-x86-release.msi'',
     install_options => { ''INSTALLDIR'' =>
''C:\\splunk'' },
     notify => Exec["enable_autostart"],
}

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

I was able to install the same version of splunk on Windows 2003 (x64):

<pre>
C:\> puppet apply z:\work\demo\splunk.pp --debug --verbose --trace
...
debug: Package[splunk](provider=msi): Executing ''msiexec.exe /qn
/norestart
/i C:\\TEST\\splunk-4.2.4-110225-x64-release.msi INSTALLDIR=C:\\splunk''
notice: /Stage[main]//Package[splunk]/ensure: created
...
</pre>

Can you use the same command above when installing and let me know what the
error is?

What''s strange is that puppet is reporting install_options is an
invalid
parameter. It is almost as though you have an older
lib/puppet/type/package.rb and/or lib/puppet/provider/package/msi.rb.

Actually hold on.. am not sure what you are asking me to do.

Using this Exec works fine for me:

$splunk_home = "C:\\Splunk"
$splunk_pkg_source =
"C:\\TEMP\\splunkforwarder-4.2.4-110225-x86-release.msi"
$splunk_install_log = "C:\\TEMP\\splunk_install.log"

exec { "install_splunk":
            command => "msiexec.exe /i $splunk_pkg_source
LAUNCHSPLUNK=0 AGREETOLICENSE=Yes INSTALLDIR=$splunk_home
LOGON_USERNAME=$splunk_home /lv $splunk_install_log /quiet",
        timeout => 120,
        creates => "$splunk_home\\bin\\splunk.exe",
        notify => Exec["reset_password"],
    }

The Package resource indeed just says it does not like
"install_options" parameter!

Thanks,
Mohamed.

OK. I figured how to use "apply", but it would not reproduce the
problem. the msiexec actually executes!

This module though, http://paste.ubuntu.com/742840/, causes the error:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/742841/

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

MSI wasn''t added until 2.7.4, so error occurs during compilation on
master, and you want the master version >= agent version.
