Thanks AJ -

Source code is here: https://gist.github.com/1754671

DEBUG logs are here: https://gist.github.com/1754690

As you can see, I have a "windows-application-role" which has the snmpd and windows default recipes applied....this role is applied to my server in question.

Hi all -

I'm using the github opscode Windows cookbook (1.2.9) to add registry
entries...when I use the example syntax, it works great (i've added the
logging):

windows_registry
'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters\RFC1156Agent' do
  values 'sysContact' =>  node[:snmpd][:sysContact], 'sysLocation' =>
node.chef_environment
  Chef::Log.info("** #{values}**")
end

I have a use case for adding a dynamic number of key/value pairs into the
hash...so I'm forced to use a different hash operator.  However, if I switch
to the other hash syntax (shown below):

windows_registry
'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters\RFC1156Agent' do
  values['sysContact'] = node[:snmpd][:sysContact]
  values['sysLocation'] = node.chef_environment
  Chef::Log.info("** #{values}**")
end

the chef-client fails with the following error: "FATAL: NoMethodError:
undefined method '[]=' for nil:NilClass"...despite the "values" hash being
printed to in the logs identically to the "good" hash syntax.

The error above can be traced back to the registry.rb provider, where the
values hash is apparently nil ({}).

I've tried everything I can think of (explicitly instantiating the "values"
hash as new, declaring "values" as both instance and/or global scope), and
I'm not getting anywhere.

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your time.
Bryan
