Jira (PUP-4333) Puppet package provider on windows fails if non-UTF8 characters are in Uninstall products name value
Title: Message Title Josh commented on PUP-4333 Re: Puppet package provider on windows fails if non-UTF8 characters are in Uninstall products name value @Vormetric Labs, thanks for the tips. Ran into the same issue, and was able to workaround it by downgrading all clients to 3.7.4. So far, I've encountered issues with Microsoft language packs/proofing tools for Office (e.g. Microsoft Office Proofing Tools 2013 - Español) and Intel software (e.g. Intel Visual Fortran Compiler XE for Intel® 64). I'm surprised this isn't more widespread.

Jira (PUP-3691) Windows - Support puppet URLs for package's source attribute
Title: Message Title Josh created an issue Puppet / PUP-3691 Windows - Support puppet URLs for package's source attribute Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Josh Cooper Created: 2014/11/23 6:29 PM Environment: Windows Labels: Windows Priority: Normal Reporter: Josh Puppet currently doesn't supporting using a Puppet URL when setting the source attribute for a package resource. In order to install a package on Windows, it typically has to be downloaded as a file resource. This increases the amount of work required to define a package resource and introduces additional steps each time the package is updated (i.e. need to get rid of the old installers on the user's computer). While Puppet does support UNC paths, it is difficult to use in production environments since the path must be accessible as the user account running the Puppet service.
