PUP-400

Ryan Gard You'll want to find an application that installs a "system component", e.g. SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Common Files. Install the application using puppet's built-in package provider:

package { 'SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Common Files':

  ensure => installed,

  source => 'C:\path\to\msi'

  install_options => ['/quiet', '/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms', '/allinstances'],

The first time you run puppet it should install the application, but the second, third, etc time, it should recognize the application is already installed.

Prior to this fix, the windows package provider would not report on applications whose SystemComponent was set to 1 in the registry. So puppet would always think the package was absent and needed to be (re)installed.
