[chef] Re: Re: broken link to the msi based windows installer

[Maven User < >]

I think many of us will use a windows box as the starting point for deployments via knife (deployments covering both *nix AND windows platforms).

Thanks again!!!

Sorry about that - I've corrected the link, and removed the now incorrect beta statement from the Windows Quick Start - http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Quick+Start+for+Windows. (Made the change from beta with the release in other sections, but missed the one you referenced.)

You'll notice that you're at the Quick Start, which sets your management workstation up as a chef client. If you don't want to use the quick start (with the full installer), there is detail on the page and in the navigation and on the sponsoring "Installation" page for the whole section which should direct you appropriately. See attached for pretty visual pointy help.

Hi guys, the link you've provided here:

http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Quick+Start+for+Windows#QuickStartforWindows-Step2%253AInstallChefandDependancies

Is broken.

Also, it'd be really nice to just have the standard gem commands to use documented.  The installer is advertised as "beta".  I'd rather just manually install what's needed versus playing with additional betaware.
