Josh, Thanks for the prompt reply! I forgot about that requirement for the resource name.
This leads to an interesting issue. The file 'dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe' performs, two installations: - Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended - Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile Is there a suggestion other than extracting the associated MSIs 'dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe' and writing two resources (to install each of the MSIs [so the resource name may match the display DisplayName])? -Kevin On Tuesday, April 16, 2013 2:55:19 PM UTC-6, Josh Cooper wrote: > > > > > On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 12:56 PM, Kevin D <kevin.d...@pearson.com<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> I noticed an issue when trying to deploy Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 >> using Puppet's package resource type.
