I don't recommend installing .NET using an exec, but wanted to mention that
`start` only makes sense in the context of cmd.exe. So you'd need to do
something like:
cmd.exe /c start /w
${dotnet::params::deployment_root}\\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q
/norestart
We do something similar in the windows package provider:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/windows/exe_package.rb#L44
We also need to supply a title to the start command, otherwise if the
package source is quoted, e.g. 2003, the install will fail.
