Yep, a custom fact. In case someone else happens upon this looking for a
similar answer, here's my custom fact to override Facter's default path
fact:
Facter.add('path') do
confine :kernel => 'windows'
setcode do
my_fact = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C
"reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment" /v Path""')
my_fact.rpartition('REG_EXPAND_SZ').slice(2).strip
end
end
Thanks Rob !
