Trying to get Puppet 2.7.6/Facter 1.6.2 running on Windows XP SP3. Followed the install instructions carefully, got no errors. facter and puppet both hang no matter what I try. The only things that don't hang are:
facter operatingsystem (or any other individual facter query) facter --version
facter --debug hangs, as does puppet --version or any other puppet command, including 'puppet config print all'.

Right now, Puppet & Facter are only supported on Server 2003 & Server 2008, since those are the only platforms we tested against when working on the Windows support. If come up with patches to get past the hangs on XP we'd love to see them.
Which install instructions were you following? If it didn't clearly call out which platforms are currently supported, we'll need to update the instructions.

I would imagine that you could get it to work with Cygwin (under cygrunsrv) on "any" Windows platform ... the SSH server there is already quite reasonable, and Cygwin has a pre-built Ruby (among other similar scripting languages); I've had the pleasure of setting up distributed build environments through such mechanisms, so I'd not think puppet would be that much of a stretch. I could be wrong, though...
I want to use Puppet for things like installing Scheduled Tasks and MSI packages, which I don't expect would work under cygwin.
I know it's not supported on XP, but gave it a try anyway. The PuppetLabs folks said it "should" work, and were able to get it to run on one of their machines.
I've narrowed the problem down to "facter puppetversion" hanging. All other facter facts work fine.

You can check out the release notes here:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Release_Notes .
They're not split out by platform but rather Puppet version. Some of
the Windows improvements I was thinking of, particularly around the
package provider, are actually in the 2.7.19 RC, which, with any luck,
will go final next week. However, as Adam points out, Windows XP isn't
a supported platform, so your results may vary...
