Hi experts,

I am trying to run the puppet agent on a Windows 2008 R2 server, but I am getting the following error:

Could you help me to solve this annoying problem.

C:\Users\Administrator> puppet agent -t

Hey buddy,

I had the same problem here. I found the problem with the registry module when It was trying converting a value with non-ascii char.

Could you please run the puppet agent with --debug option and send here the last 30 lines. If so, I can help you with that.
