Issue #16014 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
This is more of an issue on Windows than other platforms, because the staging module depends on wget/curl, which are typically not available on Windows. Currently, the only option on Windows is to create a file resource whose source is a `puppet` URL. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16014: The Windows package provider should be able to handle remote sources https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16014#change-69979 Author: Gary Larizza Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: windows Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18 Keywords: windows msi remote source package provider Branch: Currently, the Windows package provider for MSIs cannot handle remote sources. msiexec CAN install packages remotely, but the libraries we're using to determine the MSI's attributes cannot inspect the MSI if it's remote and not on the system. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
