Chris Nappin commented on PUP-1827   Re: Permission denied when installing modules on Windows Hi, I just wanted to add that I think I've just hit this issue with Puppet 3.8.1. I'm attempting to install Puppet Forge modules to a shared vagrant source directory, as a solution to installing Puppet Modules without setting up a full Puppet Master or Ruby development environment. I'm using: Windows 7 (host) Vagrant 1.7.2 Windows 2008 R2 (guest - the "joshbeard/windows_2008_r2" base box) Puppet 3.8.1 (.msi installed directly on the guest VM) I'm opening PowerShell as Administrator, then running: puppet module install puppetlabs-windows --modulepath C:\vagrant\provision\modules The output is as follows: PS C:\vagrant\provision\modules> puppet module install puppetlabs-windows --modulepath C:\vagrant\provision\modules Notice: Preparing to install into C:/vagrant/provision/modules ...
