Title: Message Title

Rob Reynolds created an issue   Puppet / PUP-3979 Windows Package Should Switch between Execute and Install Mode Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers, Windows Created: 2015/02/08 6:45 AM Labels: windows Priority: Normal Reporter: Rob Reynolds From ServerFault: The scenario is installing Windows applications with Puppet on a Windows RDP server. I have Puppet install the applications without problem, but per the best practice, you're supposed to be in install mode when doing so, and switching back to execute mode. I can do the following and it works: package {'Adobe AIR': ensure => '15.0.0.356', source => '\\myserver\adobeair.exe', install_options => ['-silent', '-eulaAccepted'], require => Exec['installmode'], before => Exec['executemode'], }   exec {'installmode': command => 'c:/Windows/System32/change.exe user /install', } exec {'executemode': command => 'c:/Windows/System32/change.exe user /execute', } What I'm trying to solve here is that everytime Puppet runs, it considers that something was done as the two Exec run each time regardless if the application really install or not. I would like to silence the execution of Exec, or find a better way to switch between install and execute mode.
