The registry module has a dependency on the stdlib module. WhenOK, I got registry::value working by commenting out the calls to
validate_re. I will file a ticket for that.
installing the module on a unix puppet master, the dependency will be
resolved automatically (stdlib module will be downloaded if
necessary). And since the running the module tool on Windows is not
currently supported (in large part because of the tar.gz format, see
[1]), you'll have to manually download the stdlib module to your
Windows box.
Unfortunately, though, the
Windows gotchas continue. If you manually edit PATH in the System control
panel, the new value shows up the next time you open a new cmd window. If,
however, you edit it in the registry, the change doesn't show up until you
reboot the machine. I've verified this behavior in XP and Server 2003.

Broadcast to all windows that the environment has changed.
I also discovered an "inconvenience" with the puppet registry module.
registry::value calls registry_value, which appends the value to the key to
create a namevar. That means you can't edit PATH within a module that has a
dependency on another module that edits path; if you do, you get a duplicate
declaration error.
Really we should have a type & provider for managing the system path.registry::value calls registry_value, which appends the value to the key to
create a namevar. That means you can't edit PATH within a module that has a
dependency on another module that edits path; if you do, you get a duplicate
