PUP-2937

I just verified this has been fixed - probably as a result of

~~PUP-3837~~ .

Note that the original manifest example was slightly incorrect, and should include Windows in the title of the package like:

package { 'Windows Azure Libraries for .NET – v2.3':

  ensure  => '2.3.0424.070',

  source  => "C:/WindowsAzureLibsForNet-x64.msi"

When I ran puppet resource package after installation, with codepage 437 as the active codepage, I got:

package { 'Windows Azure Libraries for .NET - v2.3':

  ensure => '2.3.0424.070',

Re-running puppet apply:

C:\>type package.pp

package { 'Windows Azure Libraries for .NET ΓÇô v2.3':

  ensure  => '2.3.0424.070',

  source  => "C:/WindowsAzureLibsForNet-x64.msi"

C:\>puppet apply package.pp

Notice: Compiled catalog for ic1f506pb5fmqth.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.92 seconds

Notice: Applied catalog in 0.03 seconds

With respect to the output sometimes showing up incorrectly (like the above) when running puppet resource package, this can sometimes be the case when the local codepage is not capable of rendering a Unicode character. This is a failure of cmd.exe and not Puppet - to properly "see" these characters requires running a different shell in Windows, like ConEmu.

~~PUP-5717~~ has some details about Windows console issues.

Closing this ticket as fixed.
