Unfortunately, Windows does not have an API for retrieving installed
packages. So we scan the registry and apply heuristics to determine which
packages to report on.
The overall goal has been for Puppet to report on the same set of packages
that you see in Add/Remove Programs. Packages whose registry
value SystemComponent=1 are hidden from ARP, so Puppet does the same, see
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/windows/exe_package.rb#L34
Since Puppet never reports on SystemComponents, it will always think they
are absent, and need to be installed each time it runs.
I'm thinking Puppet should not exclude SystemComponents? Are there any bad
side effects if we included them?
