Service set to stopped causes error when the service doesn't exist on Windows

[jmp242]

I want to make sure Firefox isn't automatically updating itself on our Windows computers. In most instances, if I have a service set to stopped, not having it installed should equal the same thing. How could I express either is OK in Puppet?

      service { 'FirefoxUpdateService':
        name   => 'mozillamaintenance',
        ensure => stopped,
      }

is throwing an error on my systems that don't seem to have that service.... What's the right solution here?

Thanks,
