Puppet users - Mar 2012 - Can Puppet Windows version support system variables like "%HOMEDRIVE%"?

I''ve created a testing manifest like this:

file { ''%HOMEDIRVE%\testdir'':
    ensure => directory,
    provider => windows,
}

Applied with error:

C:\Users\Administrator>puppet apply c:\init.pp
warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn
Could not parse for environment production: Could not match %HOMEDRIVE% at 
c:/in
it.pp:1 on node win-kw0tm8m9vbs

I''d like to know if Puppet Windows support Windows environment
variables?
Thanks.

Puppet version: 2.7.12
OS version: Windows 2008 R2

Operating system environment variables are not directly accessible, no,
although any that beging FACTER_ will be imported as facts (so that
"%FACTER_EXAMPLE%" is available as "$example".  You can
create your own
custom facts to import any others that you want.  See here:
