Hello All, I am new to the Puppet world. What I"m trying to do is do a Proof of Concept for puppet to see if we can use it to manage our windows nodes. I have a Dev environment setup with a SLES 11 Puppet master and some windows nodes (Win7,Win2k8). What i''m trying to do is create a "module" to install a windows MSI from a network file share. Can someone share some examples of what I need from the init.pp and also what settings I need to change on the fileserver.conf file?

Jason,
We have the built in Windows Package provider that you can use to install
an MSI from the network share. This looks something like this (from
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/writing.html#packagepackage):
package { ''Name in Programs and Features'':
ensure => installed,
provider => windows,
source => ''\\server\share\msiname.msi'',
install_options => { ''INSTALLDIR'' =>
''C:\specialDir'' },
}

Because you are trying out a proof of concept, there is also a chocolatey provider that I want to mention that will handle packaging on Windows. There is a hands on lab that you can check out - https://github.com/chocolatey/puppet-chocolatey-handsonlab On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 9:29 AM, Rob Reynolds <rob@puppetlabs.com> wrote:> Jason, > We have the built in Windows Package provider that you can use to install > an MSI from the network share.
