As other people have said, it sounds like you are doing it wrong, but you can
do that using the creates parameter on exec like this:
exec { "/usr/bin/wget http://puppet.local/OaksSecureBrowser3.0.tar.gz
-O - | /bin/tar -xvz":
cwd => "/usr",
creates => "/usr/OaksSecureBrowser3.0",
require => Package["wget"],
}
