Bug #11452: Windows: Can't mind msiexec.exe even though it's there

Puppet says it can't find msiexe.exe but cmd.exe finds it.

With this .pp:
<pre>
package { 'mplayer':
  ensure => installed,
  provider => 'msi',
  source => 'C:\Users\happy\Desktop\mplayer-setup_1.0rc2.msi',
}
</pre>

I get this:
<pre> 
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderMsi: file msiexec.exe does not exist
</pre>

In the same cmd.exe if I run mscexe.exe from the command-line, it runs fine.

This is on 2008r2.  If it matters, my cmd window is running as Administrator.

If I replace this in msi.rb:

<pre>
commands :msiexec => "msiexec.exe"
</pre>

with this then it all works:

<pre>
commands: :msiexec => 'C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe'
</pre>
