This is tested manually and it works. I'm not sure why you modified the msi to automatically uninstall the old version. It already does that. > - Second(newer) package is NOT installed on the target system via puppet. It sounds like you are using the same packagecode for two different MSIs, which will cause Windows Installer to think nothing needs to be done when installing the second MSI. Our build system generates a unique packagecode for each MSI so that this problem doesn't occur. Also our msi will automatically uninstall the old version, stopping the puppet agent service if needed, reinstall the new version, and start the service back up. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13104: Detect if newer version of MSI is available for upgrade https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13104#change-56816 Author: Collaboration TR Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: unknown Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.5 Keywords: Branch: 1. Create 2 MSI packages with different version. 2. Install the first package on target system via puppet. 3. Install the second package on target system via puppet without uninstalling the first package first Note : We modified the MSI package to automatically uninstall the old version and install the new one on top of the old one right away if the new one has higher version number. This is tested manually and it works. **Expected result** - Newer package with higher version number is installed successfully on target system via puppet. **Result** - First package is installed successfully on the target system via puppet. - Second(newer) package is NOT installed on the target system via puppet. - Changing init.pp script to use the following line for second package caused error * ensure = >'[version number]' or ensure => latest* some error msg was thrown stating that the provider does not support "versionable" -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
