Issue #17402 has been updated by Josh Cooper.

Status changed from Needs More Information to Closed
Keywords set to windows msi

Hi Luis, Prior to 2.7.19, puppet couldn't interrogate the system to see what 
was actually installed. Instead it kept track of things it had installed in a 
yaml file, see #11868. The bug was fixed in 2.7.19, causing the new behavior 
and the need to ensure the package name in the manifest matches the name that 
the system uses to identify the package.

Bug #17402: Package Resource Type for Windows processes MSI package even after 
it is installed
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17402#change-75763

Keywords: windows msi
Branch: 


The 'package' resource type for Windows continues to the run windows installer 
for MSI that puppet already installs. Take the following code:
<pre>
   file { 'webdeploy.msi' :
      path   => 'c:\\support\\WebDeploy_2_10_amd64_en-US.msi',
      ensure => 'file',
      source => "puppet:///modules/tenant-a/ws/WebDeploy_2_10_amd64_en-US.msi",
      mode   => '0774',
   }
   package { 'webdeploy.v2' :
      ensure          => present,
      provider        => 'windows',
      source          => 'c:\\support\\WebDeploy_2_10_amd64_en-US.msi',
      install_options => { 'ADDLOCAL' => 'ALL' },
      require         => File['webdeploy.msi'],
   }
</pre>

Puppet installs the webdeploy v2 successfully, however every puppet run 
afterwards continues to process the package even though the package has already 
been installed. The puppet dashboard tracks it as a 'Changed' event. 

Puppet dashboard event:
<pre>
Changed (1)
Package[webdeploy.v2] 
(/etc/puppet/environments/stg/modules/tenant-a/manifests/ws/config.pp:17)
    Property    Message
    ensure      created
</pre>

Output from successive puppet runs:
<pre>
C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin>puppet agent -t
Ignoring --listen on onetime run
Info: Retrieving plugin

In reviewing the windows application event log; MsiInstaller events are being 
generated for every puppet run: 
Beginning a Windows Installer transaction: 
c:\\support\\WebDeploy_2_10_amd64_en-US.msi. Client Process Id: 2820.
