Issue #13104 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Status changed from Accepted to In Topic Branch Pending Review
Branch set to https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/851
As part of the MSI package provider changes, puppet can either manage package
resources based on their version-specific name, e.g. `adminws-1.0.49` or the
`PackageCode`. So I believe this issue will be resolved as part of #11868. So
for example, the following should be possible:
<pre>
package { '{3D5982D6-E6DA-4351-95B3-C7686FA30C4A}':
ensure => installed,
source => '...'
}
</pre>

Feature #13104: Detect if newer version of MSI is available for upgrade
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13104#change-64808
Author: Collaboration TR
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Josh Cooper
Category: windows
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords: windows package msi
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/851
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"
