Ability to "wait" for dotnet to complete installation
Stephen Wallace
Interesting timing challenge around installing dotnet on Windows 2008 R2 Data Cente.
In essence, when we run the following command, it appears to complete in a few seconds. The reality is that it spawns multiple new msiexecs to install and configure itself over the next 5 mins or so.
dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart
This causes an obvious issue if we need to install a bit of software with dotnet as a dependancy, unless, we can "wait" until dotnet has finished it's 5 min dance.
From command line, this issue is resolved by adding a "start /wait" to the above command. The next challenge is how to get the correct syntax for my exec statement;
command => "start /wait ${dotnet::params::deployment_root}\\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart",
Without the "start /wait", the above command "works".
With the "start /wait", it complains as follows...
/Stage[main]//Dotnet[dotnet45]/Exec[install-dotnet-45]/returns:
Error: start /wait C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\modules\dotnet\files\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart returned 1 instead of one of [0]
Short of writing a new function called "go for a cup of tea" feeding it the required number of sleep seconds(!), does anybody have any experiences or ideas around this one??

Of course, it's also available from the more canonical

As I said I can’t find the 4.0 package def I had, but let here’s a crack at what I remember. You’ll need to ensure that the source is updated to where you have it. The source attribute works for local and UNC resources, but not http urls. We use the download_file puppet resource type (from puppet forge) to download files from an HTTP url.
package { 'Microsoft .NET Framework Extended':
ensure => '4.0.30319',
source => 'D:\temp\dotNetFx40_full_x86_x64.exe',
install_options => ['/q','/norestart'],
}
.NET 4.0 installs both extended and client profile. You *could* chain these together, but I haven’t tried. Puppet will check that these are installed and if they are, will not install them again. The first one would kick off and install both, then when the Client Profile was checked it would see it was installed. You could use this to ensure that both were installed – if someone uninstalled the client profile but not extended, it would kick off the installer again, but I’ve not tried a repair option. Perhaps .net would do a full refresh, but I don’t know for sure.
package { 'Microsoft .NET Framework Extended':
ensure => '4.0.30319',
source => 'D:\temp\dotNetFx40_full_x86_x64.exe',
install_options => ['/q','/norestart'],
} ->
package { 'Microsoft .NET Framework Client Profile':
ensure => '4.0.30319',
source => 'D:\temp\dotNetFx40_full_x86_x64.exe',
install_options => ['/q','/norestart'],
}
