[Puppet Users] Windows Exec ifonly equals true

2012-10-11 Thread jim
Hello Puppet Users

Can some one please help me, as i'm new to puppet and its syntax.

I want to run an exec

exec { PowerShell_Install:
command = 
C:/Install/WindowsServer2003-KB968930-x86-ENG.exe /quiet,

but only if this file DOESN'T exist
C:/WINDOWS/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe

Regards

Jim

You'll want to use the `creates` parameter so that the exec will only
run if that file doesn't exist. See
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec

Since that path is in the windows system directory, be careful of
Windows filesystem redirection. You may need to specify the path as
`c:/windows/sysnative/...` See
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/running.html#file-system-redirection-in-64-bit-windows-versions
