unable to install JDK using chef

windows_package 'JDK' do
  source 'http://tvmatp236702d:8081/nexus/content/repositories/CSDP/jdk/windows/jdk_windows/1.0.0/jdk_windows-1.0.0.exe'
  options '-ms'
  installer_type :custom
  action :install
end

On running the above recipe, jdk is getting downloaded but for installation I am getting this error:

**RuntimeError:
Unable to find a Chef::Provider::Package::Windows provider for installer_type 'custom'**
Solution

  • The :custom installer type was only added to Chef's core in 12.6. Before that you will need to include the windows cookbook.
