The problem is that puppet assumes 2 directories `PuppetLabs/Puppet`. It tries to create `Puppet` but not `PuppetLabs` and BOOM! Josh has convinced me to just return to the 2.7 behavior. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18047: Puppet 3 doesn't run in non-elevated context on Windows https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18047#change-78571 Author: Josh Cooper Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 3.0.2 Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0 Keywords: windows Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1324 Install puppet 3.0.x MSI. Start a puppet command prompt, not as an administrator. Try to run puppet, it will fail because the C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\PuppetLabs directory doesn't exist. Previously in 2.7.x, we created puppet data's directory relative to the user's home directory, which always existed. And since the MSI can only create the PuppetLabs directory (as opposed to every user on the system), we fail to run. Either we need to go back to using ~/.puppet on windows or modify puppet (and likely facter) to create the directory if it's not present. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
