Thanks Rob for guiding me.
The ensure => latest feature is not ready yet, because it requires an
upgradeable provider.
What seems to be solved is ensure => '0.0.1'.
At the link you provide they made the windows provider versionable. (That
requires facter version => 1.7.3-rc1)
I managed to apply it to Puppet, so I can do something like:
package { 'App':
ensure => '0.1.1',
provider => 'windows',
source => 'C:\\files\\packages\\App.msi',
}
Which installs a specific package without uninstalling any previous version
already installed... wierd :(
Any hint?
