clean msi installs on windows -- removing .msi file after

[KC Johnson]

I'm new to  puppet, trying to find a way to do MSI installs but ensure the installer file is removed afterwards. Any tricks on this?

You could set up a file resource with  ensure => absent and set up a relationship[1] to ensure it is checked after the MSI install. Another thing you would also look at with respect to Windows software management is Chocolatey[2][3].
