Hi,

I am writing a puppet manifest to install a service pack on windows, what I
observe is that in case the exe file is withing 50 - 70 Mb the transfer to
windows happens without any issues. But the current service pack
"windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" is around 900 Mb. My manifest is as follows

file { 'c:/temp/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe':
ensure => 'file',
mode => '0755',
owner => 'Administrator',
group => 'Administrators',
source => 'puppet:///modules/hotfix/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe',
}
I am getting the error below

err:
/Stage[main]/Hotfix::Win2k8x64_sp1/File[c:/windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe]/ensure:
change from absent to file failed: Could not set 'file on ensure: end of
file reached at /etc/puppet/modules/hotfix/manifests/win2k8x64_sp1.pp:26

Please suggest....

    I wouldn't even do this with a file resource. I'd write a small script to
    pull it down from a web server and install it then have puppet run that as
    an exec. I'd also have the script remove the update when it's done since
    you probably don't want 900mb on disk for no reason.

    Tks for your reply joe..

    The windows machine in this case is a VM.. so I guess I will update the
    template with SP1 instead of installing it on the fly.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Rakesh K.

    I do it with an exec resource using PowerShell provider and get-webfile. Works well and fast. If interested I can post the implementation details.

    That will be really great.

    Awaiting the implementation details from your side.

    Thanks & Regards,

    exec { 'dlfile':
    command => '. X:\tools\Get-WebFile.ps1 ; get-webfile http://myurl.com/file.zip c:\file.zip',
    provider => powershell
    }

    I am using the poweshell provider by Josh Cooper and get-webfile is on http://poshcode.com/3920

    Tweak line 134 from 4096 to 1048576 to make it go a ton faster. Obviously you can deploy the script via a separate file resource.
