When using a file resource, Puppet should only transfer the file if there
is a mis-match between the local file and the copy on the puppet master.
Could you paste the output of puppet agent --test so we can see why the
file is being transfered more than once? Do you happen to be removing the
MSI from C:\Software\ between puppet runs? If so, Puppet will just put the
file right back in place.

I think this line above should be source => "${7Zip_path}" It shouldn't
contain a reference to the _resource_ File[$7Zip_path] but instead simply
the string that contains the path.
I'm not sure this is actually the problem though. I think the output of
puppet agent --test will help diagnose this further.
