Issue #20281 has been updated by Josh Cooper. Target version changed from 3.x to 3.4.0
This issue has multiple parts. First, the remembered value from the registry always overwrites the command line value. As a result, command line options are ignored. This is fixed in commit [3b07de7ca9051b170a30](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet_for_the_win/commit/3b07de7ca9051b170a30). Second, puppet.conf should be the source of truth instead of the registry for puppet related settings. For example, if puppet.conf is changed after it is installed. Third, we are using `createLine` instead of `addLine` to manage puppet.conf properties. As a result, we never overwrite an existing setting (when entered in the GUI or command line). ---------------------------------------- Bug #20281: Windows installer command line options should overwrite existing settings https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20281#change-98724 * Author: Josh Cooper * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: 3.4.0 * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 * Keywords: windows msi * Branch: ---------------------------------------- When the Windows MSI is uninstalled, the old puppet.conf is left behind. When you next install (or during an upgrade) the GUI gives you the option to re-enter the puppet master, but any value you enter is ignored, which is very surprising. I would expect that the GUI display the value that is currently in puppet.conf, or default to puppet as it does now. And if I specify a value in the GUI, it should overwrite the value in puppet.conf. And same if the property is specified on the command line. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
