Hi Andy... I think i got your idea....
I use this module ARCHIVE with Linux workstations, and the módule I created was to install our ERP system, so i use the ARCHIVE do download the package tar.gz from our FTP server, for example: url => 'http://ftp.company.com/puppet/system.tar.gz' So, with this tarball, i have the system.tar.gz.md5, where i did with the command on linux md5sum to create the md5 file. With THIS the ARCHIVE module make all to me!! It download the tarball, extract it to the target /usr/local , check with MD5 and install my ERP. You are using samba to distribute the programs .exe, so you can create the md5 file, and use the ARCHIVE module to install the package... Take a look at this module with your module... 2014-02-21 14:54 GMT-03:00 Andy Spiegl <puppet.a...@spiegl.de>: > > Tell me more about your goal! > > > > What you really need!? > > > > Are your client Windows or Linux ? > > Most of them are Linux, but many user workstations are Windows. > I am trying to set up puppet to update the most security crucial > programs on these Windows machines: Java, Flash, Firefox, Thunderbird, > putty, vlc and puppet itself of course. > > I've got a separate module for each which grab installer files from a > samba share.
