One odd thing is that setting "show_diff=false" in puppet.conf, in
"agent" stanza seems to be ignored, I get the error still.

I am not a Windows guy, but I installed GNU diff and it seems like it
could be pretty straightforward to deploy:

- Get installer : http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/diffutils.php
- Run it: C:\Temp\diffutils-2.8.7-1.exe /silent
- Add "diff' to puppet.conf:
diff = "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\diff"

et voila.

Thanks,
Mohamed.
