Most likely, the package name in your manifest does not match the value of the DisplayName property in the registry, which is also the value displayed in Add/Remove Programs. A quick way to verify this is to install the package using puppet. Then run `puppet resource package <name>`, also with the name as displayed in Add/Remove Programs. You should see puppet report that the package is installed.
