I attempted to get puppet running on windows about a week ago and ran into
this bug.

I don't see an msi.rb or win32.rb in the source code for providers so I'm
guessing no

I believe it hasn't been created yet, it would be cool if there was one :)

depends on the branch, you can also git checkout using git tags for specific
versions

'gem install puppet' should get you 2.6

Also I just updated the wiki to use facter 1.5.8. Theres a patch for windows
uptime & if you grab branch master theres a patch from me adding
manufacturer, model, and serial number.

Also note install.rb doesn't work on windows

Hope this helps.
