[chef] Deleting a file in windows Env

[Sachin Gupta < >]

Hello,

I am trying to remove a windows package AspNetMVC4Setup.exe. through chef solo

code used to delete AspNetMVC4Setup.exe package

# Delete ASP.NET MVC 4 Installer
#
file "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}\\#{basename}" do
  action :delete
end

I am unable to delete the package, but while using cookbook_file resource, I am able to delete the package.

# Delete ASP.NET MVC 4 Installer

  cookbook_file "Delete ASP.NET MVC 4 Installer" do
  path "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}\\#{basename}"
  action :delete
  end


Is there any difference while deleting a file from cookbook_file vs file. also what would be the best approach. I am not getting any error messages while using cookbook_file instead of file .

The error messages when run with file resource are::
