Puppet users - Jul 2013 - how do you update packages on windows?

Hi guys,

Currently the windows package provider does not support versions (like 
ensure => 1.2.3).

Even though most packages set a DisplayVersion key in the registry - so the 
version is often available.

Now I need to upgrade my puppet clients from v3.1.1 to v3.2.3-rc1 (to get 
facts.d support on windows) - and I was wondering if any of you had a 
suggestion as to how to handle it, until windows package provider supports 
versions ?

I was thinking I''d have to create a fact
"puppetclientversion" or something
(which I''d need to figure out how to get in ruby) - and then do an exec
of
msiexec (I can''t use package - since it can only ensure => installed
- and
it''s already installed).

What do you guys do?

I use chocolatey provider, but that''s because I wrote it :)
Check out chocolatey on github, the provider is on the forge, and see if it
meets your needs.

It isn''t perfect, but the next version of chocolatey coming out soon
will
have more support for puppet built in it.
