FAQ
Thanks for the pointer to nanliu/staging. Though from the forge page it
sounds like it requires a master and hiera. I'm running standalone.

Re env vars, I managed to figure that out. The following resource sets the
global system var FOO_BAR to the current value of PATH, with ";baz"
appended to the end of it:

exec { "cmd.exe /c reg add \"HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment\" /v FOO_BAR /t REG_SZ /d \"$::path;baz\" /f":
path => $::path
}

Note the escaped quotes.

On Windows 7 you could use the builtin 'setx' command instead, but I'm
being wacky and using Puppet on XP, which doesn't have setx.

I want to use Puppet to manage Groovy and Gradle on Windows machines. The
install process for each looks like:

1. Download zip file from a URL
2. Unzip
The nanliu/staging module on the Puppet Forge will at least get you
the first two points. http://forge.puppetlabs.com/nanliu/staging

With a couple of Puppet resources, it will retrieve the zip file from
a url, store it somewhere and unzip it wherever you want. He lists
some examples on the Forge page. They're for tar.gz files but the
resources automatically handle zipped files should they have the
proper .zip extension.
3. Create a Windows environment variable to point to the location where you
unzipped
4. Add that environment variable/bin to the global PATH environment
variable.
I'm sorry I can't help you with these two. Hopefully someone else on
the list can. :-)
