Puppet users - Sep 2010 - Resources on Windows

I was going to try puppet on Windows and was wondering if anyone has advice
before I start.  I found
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Puppet_Windows

I mostly wondering if these work/exist:
*) file
*) exec
*) package (msi)
*) The registry provider that people were talking about.  It might just be an
idea.

Also, is "http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet" the unstable trunk,
the stable trunk, or the most recent 2.6 release?

I attempted to get puppet running on windows about a week ago and ran into
this bug.

not sure

   *) package (msi)

I don''t see an msi.rb or win32.rb in the source code for providers so
I''m
guessing no

depends on the branch, you can also git checkout using git tags for specific
versions

''gem install puppet'' should get you 2.6

Also I just updated the wiki to use facter 1.5.8. Theres a patch for windows
uptime & if you grab branch master theres a patch from me adding
manufacturer, model, and serial number.

Also note install.rb doesn''t work on windows

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help.  I hit this bug, and you saved me a lot of time. 
I''ll look around some more and/or try again in a few months.
