Hi! On Windows 7 we have Puppet 4.2.x and, in order to deal with accented characters commonly found in registry key DisplayName, we use unicode escape sequences in our manifests such as "\u00FA".
However, on Windows XP, we couldn't install Puppet 4.2.x so we use 3.8.x instead. When running the same manifest with escape sequences, Puppet complains: "Unrecognised escape sequence '\u' in file ...". Puppet 3.8.x documentation states that it "treats strings as sequences of bytes. It does not recognize encodings or translate between them, and non-printing characters are preserved." So, how can I deal with software that have accented characters in their DisplayName? Assuming that registry's encoding is the same on WXP and W7, I could probably make it work by using Puppet 4.2.x on Windows XP, but I just don't know how to install it successfully. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
