Issue #18295 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
Hi Nathan, Can you run puppet apply with --debug and --trace and report the
error you are seeing? I intentionally don't quote the command and
{install|uninstall}_options as it was causing windows to think the options were
part of the executable to run. For example, when uninstalling git, we have to
execute the following:
<pre>
cmd.exe /c start puppet-uninstall /w "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\unins000.exe"
/SILENT
</pre>
If we instead did:
<pre>
cmd.exe /c start puppet-uninstall /w "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\unins000.exe
/SILENT"
</pre>
Then windows would try to execute a process named "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Git\unins000.exe /SILENT" and fail.

Bug #18295: Windows Package installer_options not quoted when when source
contains spaces
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18295#change-79862
Author: Nathan Buuck
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: windows
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 3.0.2
Keywords: windows package
Branch:
**Synopsis**:
When the puppet agent's "windows:" provider generates the Windows shell command
to execute a self-extracting executable installer, the "installer_options" like
"/s" are left outside of the double-quotes that enclose the "source". This
causes the package's installer_options to be appended as if they're switches
for the "start" process, which almost always causes the installation to fail.
**Example**:
package { "Mozilla Firefox 17.0.1:
ensure => installed,
source => '\\NAS\Software\Mozilla\Firefox 17.0.1.exe',
installer_options => [ '/s' ]
}
The agent will attempt to execute a command similar to this (from memory, I'm
afraid; the cmd.exe and start arguments may be swapped):
cmd.exe /c start /w "\\NAS\Software\Mozilla\Firefox 17.0.1.exe" /s
Where as it should attempt to execute:
cmd.exe /c start /w "\\NAS\Software\Mozilla\Firefox 17.0.1.exe /s"
**Other Notes**:
1. The issue occurs regardless of specifying the provider attribute of the
package.
2. The agent was running on Windows 7 Professional x64.
3. The agent was Puppet Open Source 3.0.2 for Windows, installed silently via
.MSI from http://puppetlabs.com/misc/download-options/
