Puppet users - Mar 2014 - Puppet on Windows (Package and File Dependencies)

I have several windows boxes as puppet agents and most of them install 
packages the following way..

   file{
      ... make sure my .msi file is where i want
    }

  package{
   ... install the msi package from a local msi 
  }

Now, as a general rule Puppet will make sure that the .msi package is 
always there but the question is... Do I really want the package to be 
sitting there (even when i have big msi packages) or maybe i just want the 
file to be there only if the Package is not installed. 

Couldn't find a way to do it with Notify/Subscribe since that is done for a 
different purpose. If the package resource type could support the url to 
download the package then i wouldn't have a whole bunch of installers 
sitting there locally.

Wondering if someone has the same issue. Linux is a different story 
regarding Packages because they all depend on their Package Manager.
