Issue #22906 has been reported by Rob Reynolds.
----------------------------------------
Feature #22906: MSI properties that have a default value don't allow the
remembered property to be applied during an upgrade
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22906
* Author: Rob Reynolds

* Keywords: windows

----------------------------------------
If you install puppet on windows, the value is persisted in the registry. If
you upgrade and don't specify a new value, the persisted value should be
re-applied, but is not. Specifically:
<pre>
<Property Id="PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER" Value="puppet">
<Property Id="PUPPET_AGENT_ENVIRONMENT" Value="production">
</pre>
To reproduce, install 3.3.1 (or whenever the property was introduced):
<pre>
start /w msiexec /qn /i puppet-3.3.1.msi PUPPET_MASTER_SERVER=myotherserver
</pre>
Make sure the value is in the registry and puppet.conf:
<pre>
reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Puppet
Labs\PuppetInstaller" /v RememberedPuppetMasterServer
type c:\programdata\puppetlabs\puppet\etc\puppet.conf
</pre>
Upgrade to the new version without specifying a new value:
<pre>
start /w msiexec /qn /i puppet-latest.msi
</pre>
puppet.conf will revert back to the default `puppet` instead of the remembered
value `myotherserver`
This wasn't an issue previously, because once a value was written to
puppet.conf, it was never changed, even if a new value was specified in the
command line.
