Hi all, after setting up puppet for my linux clients yesterday I started tackling the windows7 PCs. I managed setting up users and deploying files but I couldn't get it to install software, e.g. Mozilla Firefox. I ran into various problem. First, puppet agent threw strange errors probably because v2.7 can't set "install_options" of the MSI provider to '/S'. I searched for solutions and tried the nifty chocolatey provider but it complained about "%" not being a command. Then I decided to upgrade to puppet v3.3 - first the clients then also the (Debian) puppetmaster. That worked fine with my linux clients but the windows clients complain: Could not intern from pson: "\xE4" on US-ASCII This seems to be related to bug #20522 but so far I haven't even found a workaround. So had to downgrade the puppet client to v2.7 again. :-(
Now I am wondering what I am overlooking. Judging from various success stories in the net I have the impression that others can do what I am trying to do. I'd really appreciate any comments and hints from you guys. Thanks in advance, Andy. -- You can't run sausage backwards through a meat grinder and end up with a whole pig."
