Augeas resource type for Windows?

[Charlie Baum]

I want to use Augeas to manage/change some XML files using my puppet manifest.  I'd really prefer not to use templates, and Augeas seems like it does what I want.

However when I try it, my Windows event log says there is no suitable provider for Augeas.  Is that provider not supported on Windows?  Is any Augeas provider available for Windows boxes?  I see some in puppetforge but none claim to support Windows.

From puppet's perspective, the augeas provider is only suitable if puppet can load the ruby-augeas bindings, which in turn load the augeas native libraries. 

In the default Puppet MSI install, neither the ruby-augeas bindings nor augeas native libraries are provided, so the provider is not suitable out of the box. However, you may be able to compile augeas for windows and install the ruby-augeas gem... I haven't done that myself, so I'm not sure how well that'll work out.
