Hi I've been trying to execute what you have checked done here but i still
get the error of "does not know how to install, here is my code:
package { "python-2.7.3.amd64":
ensure => 'installed',
source => "${$installexec}/python-2.7.3.amd64",
install_options => [{'TARGETDIR' => 'c:/python27'} ,
{'WHICHUSERS' => 'ALL'} ]
}
can you help me?
