Issue #11868 has been updated by Nan Liu.
The registry keys are unreliable. Puppet installed on a 64 bit system is
actually located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
instead of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Bug #11868: msi package provider can only manage packages it installed
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11868#change-56200
Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Josh Cooper
Category: windows
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords:
Branch:
The msi package provider keeps track of packages it installed in a yaml file.
As a result, it doesn't know about packages it didn't install.
The msi package provider should query the registry
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372105(VS.85).aspx>, or access that
information through WMI's Win32_Product
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394378(v=vs.85).aspx>
This way it will accurately report on the state of the system.
