Having trouble reproducing, I'm on 2008 R2 build 7600, when running from
cmd.exe as Administrator:
<pre>
package { "splunk":
provider => 'msi',
ensure => installed,
source => 'C:\Users\root\splunk-4.2.4-110225-x64-release.msi',
install_options => { 'INSTALLDIR' => 'C:\splunk' },
}
</pre>
<pre>
C:\>puppet apply c:\Users\root\msi.pp --trace --debug
...
debug: Prefetching msi resources for package
debug: Package[splunk](provider=msi): Executing 'msiexec.exe /qn /norestart /i
C:\Users\root\splunk-4.2.4-110225-x64-release.msi INSTALLDIR=C:\splunk'
notice: /Stage[main]//Package[splunk]/ensure: created

Bug #11452: Windows: Can't find 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 msiexec.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>
