Josh, I'm glad we were able to get you going. However it is slightly troubling to see that the service flips to automatic after running puppet agent. Also are you overriding the user the agent installed as to a non-administrative user? On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 3:24 PM, Josh D wrote: > > > On M

You should be able to take ownership of the directory you cannot delete as an administrator. Once you have done that you should be able to move forward with deleting those. I think the prior install attempts might have botched something and that directory is not removed. On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 5

Josh, Can you try something for me? With the install, can you add the following to it? msiexec /qn /i themsilocation.msi PUPPET_AGENT_STARTUP_MODE=Manual And tell me if it installs okay? Then we'll move onto trying to start the service and see what errors crop up. On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 10:
