puppet-download_file

Small define that will allow you to download a file, on Windows, for usage during an installation. This was created so that we didn't have to store large binaries (DotNet4.0 etc.) in our modules.

Usage

download_file { "Download dotnet 4.0" :
    url         => 'http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe',
    destination => 'c:\temp'
}

This can now be used in other modules that need to install applications. All you would need to do is to have a require (as used with puppet-dotnet, by Liam Bennett) e.g.

download_file { "Download dotnet 4.0" :
    url         => 'http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe',
    destination => 'c:\temp'
}

exec { 'install-dotnet-4':
         command   => "c:\\temp\\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart",
         provider  => powershell,
         logoutput => true,
         unless    => "if ((Get-Item -LiteralPath \'${dotnet::params::f_reg_key}\' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).GetValue(\'DisplayVersion\')) { exit 0 }",
         require   => Download_file['Download dotnet 4.0']
}
