    Description

      The newly added PUPPET_SERVER MSI install property doesn't seem to work:

      C:\> cmd /c start /w msiexec /qn /i http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/windows/puppet6/puppet-agent-6.21.1-x64.msi PUPPET_SERVER=brisk-pop.delivery.puppetlabs.net
      C:\> type C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\puppet.conf
      type C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\puppet.conf
      [main]
      server=puppet
      autoflush=true
      manage_internal_file_permissions=false
      

      Using PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER does work. In looking at the wix files it seems some of the custom actions and sequencing for the new property is missing some steps:

      $ git --no-pager grep -e PUPPET_SERVER | grep -v PUPPET_SERVER_PORT
      resources/windows/wix/customactions.wxs.erb:    <!-- PUPPET_SERVER -->
      resources/windows/wix/customactions.wxs.erb:      Property="CMDLINE_PUPPET_SERVER"
      resources/windows/wix/customactions.wxs.erb:      Value="[PUPPET_SERVER]"
      resources/windows/wix/customactions.wxs.erb:      Value="[CMDLINE_PUPPET_SERVER]"
      resources/windows/wix/sequences.wxs.erb:        CMDLINE_PUPPET_SERVER
      

      The old setting has many more:

      $ git --no-pager grep PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER
      resources/windows/wix/appdatafiles.wxs:          Key="server" Value="[PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER]"
