We currently do not support running the module tool on windows due to
its reliance on tar as a packing format. This will be fixed in a
future release, see
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11276.
The workflow instead is to install the module on your master, and run
`puppet agent` on the windows host, which will pluginsync the
necessary files from the master to the agent host.
The puppetlabs-registry module provides more details about how this
process works on windows:
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/registry
If instead you want to use `puppet apply`, then you can extract the
tarball and point your modulepath at it as described here:
