This is the expected behavior. The type documentation for packages states that 
the `name` parameter should be set to "the name that the packaging system uses 
internally". The Windows documentation states that for Windows packages, this 
is `DisplayName`:

This functionality could be contributed through a pull request. A feature 
request could also be opened for consideration by the developers. I'm going to 
close this specific issue as "not a bug" as the current situation matches the 
documented behavior of the Windows package providers.

Bug #19747: package on windows installs package EVERY time

----------------------------------------
I have this in my profile:
                package { "NetFx40inst":
                        source => 
'\\Ks-software01\SW\Install\Server\AutomatiseringsRepository\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe',
                        install_options => [ '/q', '/norestart', '/log 
C:\Temp\NetFx40.htm']
                }

This makes puppet install the package - and it works fine.
I can see the installed program under "add or remove programs" dialogue.

Next time I run puppet - it runs the installation again :(
