Hi guys,
I have been trying to bootstrap a windows machine with puppet. I need to
install java and setup the JAVA_HOME and add bin to the path variable of
windows.
I have tried using the package resource with the jdk setup but everytime I
run the manifest puppet opens the setup wizard and waits for me to do
something.
Am I doing something wrong or is this the right behavior? Also is there a
way to do this as silent install?
Here is my manifest.
package {"java" :
ensure => installed,
provider => "windows",
source =>
"C:/Manifests/installables/jdk-6u35-windows-i586.exe",
}
Thank you.

I wasn''t aware that you could use the package resource for exe files
since
it looked like it was limited to msi files.
I ended up crafting up this solution using exec resource
exec{"jdkinstaller":
command => "${::installer_dir}/jdk-6u30-windows-i586.exe /s
ADDLOCAL=\"ToolsFeature,DemosFeature,SourceFeature\" ",
creates => ''C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\bin\javac.exe'',
logoutput => ''true'',
}
Still struggling to set the Global PATH variable in a nice way.

Hi,> Still struggling to set the Global PATH variable in a nice way.I set the path using PowerShell (a script which is deployed and executed by puppet), but I imagine you could do something similar with ruby and the win32 api: Function Set-Path { Param([Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$component, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$variable=''path'', [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$target=''Machine'') $path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable($variable, $target).split('';'') if ($path -notcontains $component) { $path += $component [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable($variable, [string]::join('';'', $path), $target) } } Cheers, Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
