I''d recommend looking at Rich''s chocolatey-puppet package
provider:
https://github.com/rismoney/puppet-chocolatey, so you can do things like:

    package { ''notepadplusplus'':
      ensure          => latest,
      provider        => ''chocolatey'',
   }

As far as Visual Studio, there is a 2012 version here:
http://chocolatey.org/packages?q=Studio.

Alternatively, you can create your own chocolatey packages and feeds. More
info here: https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/wiki
