Hello,
I'm trying to install a few MSI packages on Windows, and I'm having trouble
specifying options.
Here is what I want to execute
C:\packages\my_problematic_package.msi \quiet \passive
As you can see, I'm trying to specify two arguments to the package, but I
can't figure out how to use the Puppet package resource to accomplish this.
Install_options being a hash is causing me confusion.
Here's my attempt at a resource definition:
package { "my_problematic_package.msi":
ensure => installed,
provider => 'msi',
source => "C:/packages/my_problematic_package.msi",
install_options => '/quiet /passive',
# Previous try as a hash
# install_options => { " " => '/quiet /passive' },
require => File["C:/packages/my_problematic_package.msi"],
}
When I run this on the a Windows host, I get a help popup (same thing
without any install_options defined) that is the same as running '\?'.
Then, I get an error that says "the semaphore cannot be set again."
Thinking that Puppet may think the package is installed, I re-ran it with
"ensure => absent," which succeeded, but subsequent install attempts failed
with the same error.
The MSI is obviously executing because the help popup appears. It just
seems to be running with the incorrect options.
Could anyone help?
I'm using http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/writing.html#packagepackage
for documentation and running Puppet 2.7.19.
Thanks,
Justin
