Yes Bryan, Therefore am successfully able to install IIS on the server.

But if am using "windows_package" in default.rb to install anything then am getting the error. Mean i can't install anything on my windows machine.

e.g.:-  cookbooks/zip/recipe/In default.rb

windows_package "7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)" do
  source "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920-x64.msi"
  action :install
end

That error is because chef is using the new windows_package provider
in core chef, rather than the LWRP in the windows cookbook.

Do you have the windows cookbook in your run list before the java
recipe? The java cookbook 'suggests' the windows cookbook rather than
'depends' so you'll need them in your run list so the LWRP gets loaded
and overrides the core windows_package resource.
