[chef] Re: RE: Please help with windows_package exception

[Jay Mundrawala < >]

Specify the path to the MSI in the source attribute instead of as the name of the resource.

As example from the cookbook:

windows_package 'Mozilla Firefox 5.0 (x86 en-US)' do

  source 'http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%205.0.exe'

  options '-ms'

  installer_type :custom

  action :install

end

Here’s a better cut/paste of the output. My original post looked like the *.msi name was misconfigured.

Subject: [chef] Please help with windows_package exception

 

If I install the *.msi manually, it installs. When installing it via windows_package resource, I get an exception. I can’t find what Chef means by “Required argument source is missing!”
