[chef] RE: window msi package installation issue

[Adam Edwards < >]

Premukar, what version of the chef-client are you using? I\xE2\x80\x99ve tried to make this failure occur on 11.8.2, and everything works fine for me. If you\xE2\x80\x99re running Chef 10, or even a version prior to 11.4, I would not expect the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE constant that exists in current Chef releases to be present in the chef gem.
