Issue #11870 has been updated by Lance A.
Note that the Windows Installer automation interface is not be capable of managing non-MSI installs. Though the installation will appear under Programs and Features, it will not be listed in the Installer.Products collection. Example: WANdisco Subersion 1.7.2-2 is an executable installer that creates a Programs and Features entry, but does not show up in the Installer automation Products collection. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11870: Support other types of windows packages https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11870 Author: Josh Cooper Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Josh Cooper Category: windows Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Puppet only support MSI packages on Windows that can be installed via `msiexec` We should support other types of packages created from: * InstallShield * Wise * MS Hotfixes * NullSoft * InnoSetup One issue is that many of these are self-extracting executables. Another issue is that we would need to introspect the package to determine what set of command line options are required to perform a silent install and supress reboots.
