Hi Puppeteers, I hope I can get you advice about the best way to approach using MSIs and other installers on Windows.
Currently I am downloading Windows installers from the puppet master with the puppet:// syntax and the "file" type into a temporary directory c:\puppet_temp with subdirectories where necessary. Then after running the installers witht the "package" type, I was hoping to remove them with the "tidy" type. Is this the right approach, or should we be planning to host our installers in a Windows-based file server and using running the installers with a UNC path? Will this be a future feature? Assuming the temp directory approach is correct, could I get your advice on the most lightweight way to copy the files, since I can't use the checksum "none" setting, and I don't need to check the files are present on each run, I plan to remove them after the package is installed correctly. Sorry for the noob question. Look forward to your responses. Thanks, Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
