Puppet / PUP-11210 package resource, allow for logging with Windows MSI Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: Windows Created: 2021/08/19 12:44 PM Priority: Low Reporter: Michael Luck Puppet Version: 6.23 Puppet Server Version: 6.16.1 OS Name/Version: Windows 10     I'm not able to specify logging options when using the package resource with Windows MSIs. When trying to pass the log parameter, it does not work since Puppet places quotes around it.   ``` install_options => [ '/qn', '/norestart', '/l*v c:\windows\temp\msi_log.txt' ], ``` This results in `msiexec /qn /norestart /i package.msi "/l*v c:\windows\temp\msi_log.txt"` which is invalid. Is there a way I can override this behavior to pass the parameter correctly? Add Comment

Puppet / PUP-11210 package resource, allow for logging with Windows MSI

Change By: Michael Luck *Puppet Version: 6.23* *Puppet Server Version: 6.16.1* *OS Name/Version: Windows 10*

I'm not able to specify logging options when using the package resource with Windows MSIs. When trying to pass the log parameter, it does not work since Puppet places quotes around it.

{code:java} ```

install_options => [ '/qn', '/norestart', '/l*v c:\windows\temp\msi_log.txt'

], {code}   ``` This results in ` : {code:java} msiexec /qn /norestart /i package.msi "/l*v c:\windows\temp\msi_log.txt" ` which is invalid. {code}

Is there a way I can override this behavior to pass the parameter correctly?

Re: package resource, allow for logging with Windows MSI Try passing them as an array of strings, [“l*v”, “C:\…”]
