Issue #12980 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
We've documented Windows filesystem redirection behavior <http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/running.html#file-system-redirection-in-64-bit-windows-versions>, but a lot of people on the mailing list have run into this issue: <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/puppet-users/A_9i2Wx1yFI/ZUxK5U-yWZYJ><br> <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/puppet-users/sva-_CmZHdg/jTWLC6Vz4FQJ><br> <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/puppet-users/gAWFc7fiLyE/cqynD9TtAR4J><br> Perhaps we should add a warning when accessing files (exec or file resource) in `c:\windows\system32` and running on 64-bit OS? We can't disable filesystem redirection for the ruby process, because it would interfere with DLL loading, etc. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12980: Puppet::Util.execute on Windows should search 64-bit path first https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12980#change-73452 Author: Nan Liu Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Josh Cooper Category: windows Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 Keywords: windows, 32bit, 64bit, redirection, syswow64 Branch: Because ruby is a 32bit process, it searches 32bit path first, which unfortunately is typically the wrong binary on 64bit servers: "You cannot service a running 64-bit operating system with a 32-bit version of DISM. Please use the version of DISM that corresponds to your computer's architecture." -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
