One useful trick on Windows is to set the `path` parameter of the exec
resource to the value of the `path` fact so that you don't have to know
where Windows was installed:
exec { 'test':
command => "cmd.exe /c echo hello",
path => $path
}
It does assume you trust the `path` fact. For example, a user less
privileged than puppet shouldn't be able to manipulate the system in a way
that causes the `path` fact to contain user specified directories.
