Puppet users - Apr 2013 - Installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with Puppet?

Hello,

Has anyone here had experience using Puppet (2.7 for now) to install 
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (or even 2012, for that matter) on Windows 
Server 2008?

So far I didn''t find anything on the web, the forge or Github.

Thanks.

I''d recommend looking at Rich''s chocolatey-puppet package
provider:
https://github.com/rismoney/puppet-chocolatey, so you can do things like:

    package { ''notepadplusplus'':
      ensure          => latest,
      provider        => ''chocolatey'',
   }

As far as Visual Studio, there is a 2012 version here:
http://chocolatey.org/packages?q=Studio.

Alternatively, you can create your own chocolatey packages and feeds. More
info here: https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/wiki

Thanks Josh.

Yes a colleague who spiked our "Puppet on Windows" has already
discovered
Chocolatey and I intend to try to use it if I have to implement this myself.

Alas so far I haven''t found a ready-made package for Visual Studio 2010
but
perhaps I can start from the package for Studio 2012. Still waiting to hear 
whether someone has already solved this.

A fellow maintainer of chocolatey has packaged it here i think based on public
downloads:
https://github.com/mwrock/Chocolatey-Packages

I have not yet open sourced our choco repo but I can probably sanitize the
vstudio package and publish it if you like  .  It won''t work without
having the binaries obviously.

I have not yet deployed it with puppet since I just started workstation puppet
deployment,  and deploying pkgs like vstudio is slow.  But it should be trivial.

Speaking of slow, I need to add prefetching to the choco provider.   Based on
other threads,  seems like it will be a big improvement.
