|
Windows package management.
|
|
|
This provider supports either MSI or self-extracting executable installers.
|
|
|
This provider requires a source attribute when installing the package. It accepts paths to local files, mapped drives, or UNC paths.
|
|
|
This provider supports the install_options and uninstall_options attributes, which allow command-line flags to be passed to the installer. These options should be specified as a string (e.g. ‘–flag’), a hash (e.g. {‘–flag’ => ‘value’}), or an array where each element is either a string or a hash.
|
|
|
If the executable requires special arguments to perform a silent install or uninstall, then the appropriate arguments should be specified using the install_options or uninstall_options attributes, respectively. Puppet will automatically quote any option that contains spaces.
|
|
|
Default for operatingsystem == windows.
|
Supported features: install_options, installable, uninstall_options, uninstallable, versionable.
|
Many windows users that use puppet to install tools with large binaries have the need to install software without downloading the file locally or have a specific UNC path for it.
using file -> package is not an option since i don't really care about the file but i care about the package to be installed.
