You'll want to use the `creates` parameter so that the exec will only
run if that file doesn't exist. See
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec
Since that path is in the windows system directory, be careful of
Windows filesystem redirection. You may need to specify the path as
`c:/windows/sysnative/...` See
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/running.html#file-system-redirection-in-64-bit-windows-versions
