Puppet users - Mar 2013 - Still problem using Chocolatey provider on Windows

As some before me on the group, I have a problem getting the Chocolatey 
provider to work on Windows.

I downloaded it from Github and placed it in 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/chocolatey. (I am running Puppet Enterprise 
2.7.19).

On a Windows 8 client, I have a very simple manifest:

class install_notepadplusplus {

  if $::osfamily == ''windows {
    $pkg = ''notepadplusplus''

    package { $pkg:
      ensure   => installed,
      provider => ''chocolatey'',
    }
  }
}

When I run the agent on the client, I get 

err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter provider failed: Invalid package 
provider ''chocolatey'' at ...

I have pluginsync = true on both master and client which is set by default 
using PE.

Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

Werner

I got it to work on Windows 7. On Windows 8 it would not find the provider. 
But the provider does not install the package completely for me yet. As a 
workaround I am using an exec of a powershell script.

I have not tested chocolatey/puppet-chocolatey on Win8. Unfortunately I 
will not have a Win8 test environment up for at least a few weeks due to 
other priorities.
