Hi,
First time install Chef Windows ( with the installer - http://www.opscode.com/chef/install.msi ).  I created a recipes with " Chef::Log.info("Hello World") " and the windows node display this fine. Then I download the windows cookbook ( http://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/windows )  and test this

windows_batch "echo some env vars" do
 code <<-EOH
 echo %TEMP%
 echo %SYSTEMDRIVE%
 echo %PATH%
 echo %WINDIR%
 EOH
end


The windows node failed to run with this error:

why does it use MacPorts on Windows? or did the Chef windows installer missing something?

thanks
