[Puppet Users] Puppet Windows package not seeing DisplayName in Registry?
Hello,
I''ve got Package resource on my Windows machine that keeps creating
itself
even though the package has been properly installed.
I''ve got the name attribute set to the DisplayName found in the
Registry
for the package.
Every time the agent polls, I see in the Event Logs:
/Stage[main]/Mssql_rtwo_sptwo/Package[mssql2008r2sp2_exec]/ensure: created
This is what''s in my manifest:
package { ''mssql2008r2sp2_exec'':
ensure => installed,
name => ''SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Common
Files'',
provider => windows,
source => "C:\\puppet_temp\\${mssql_filename}",
install_options => [''/quiet'',
''/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms'',
''/allinstances''],
require =>
Exec[''run_mssql2008r2sp2_artifact_extract_ps1''],
}
I''m thinking there has got to be some weird bug/error with this ... Can
anyone help?
Thanks in advance

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet Windows package not seeing DisplayName in Registry?
Reginal,
Does it work if you put the contents of the parameter ''name''
into the title
of the type:
package {''SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Common Files'':
ensure => installed,
provider => windows,
source => "C:\\puppet_temp\\${mssql_filename}",
install_options => [''/quiet'',
''/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms'',
''/allinstances''],
require =>
Exec[''run_mssql2008r2sp2_artifact_extract_ps1''],
}
From http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/writing.html:
> Identifying Packages
>
> The title or name of the package must match the value of the
DisplayNameproperty in the registry, which is also the value displayed in
Add/Remove
> Programs. Alternately, when a package name is not unique across versions
> (e.g. VMWare Tools, or where there are 32- and 64-bit versions with the
> same name), we provide the ability to specify the package’s PackageCode as
> the package name. This is a GUID that’s unique across all MSI builds. For
> instance:
>
Also, what are the results from this PowerShell command:
Get-WmiObject -class win32_product | Where-Object {$_.name.contains("SQL
Server 2008")}

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet Windows package not seeing DisplayName in Registry?
Tried renaming the title of the resource to what the name attribute was set to; no go. After doing a ''puppet resource package'' on the agent, I see a list of packages but the package listed here is not shown ... I confirmed that it is still showing ''ensure: created'' in the event logs every puppet run.

Can you also provide the output from this powershell command:
Get-WmiObject -class win32_product | Where-Object {$_.name.contains("SQL
Server 2008")}
If a record for the installer isn''t in the registry location
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
or
the WMI Win32_Product class, the package may not have installed properly.
Can you install the package manually and get these values?

So we scan the registry and apply heuristics to determine which packages to report on. The overall goal has been for Puppet to report on the same set of packages that you see in Add/Remove Programs. Packages whose registry value SystemComponent=1 are hidden from ARP, so Puppet does the same, see https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/windows/exe_package.rb#L34 Since Puppet never reports on SystemComponents, it will always think they are absent, and need to be installed each time it runs. I''m thinking Puppet should not exclude SystemComponents? Are there any bad side effects if we included them?
