I am not new to puppet, but I am new to using it on Windows. Trying to configure chocolatey using the puppetlabs/chocolatey module. Initial puppet run without the module worked just fine. Then I added include chocolatey to the manifest, and it downloaded and installed chocolatey. So far, so good. However, then I went to add a custom source like so:
chocolateysource { 'mysource':
ensure => present,
location => 'https://my.chocolatey.source',
priority => 10,
}
Now I get the following message when running puppet agent -t:
PS C:\Windows\system32> puppet agent -t

As a non-Windows user, I feel like I'm missing something to make this work, but I'm not sure what it is. I have verified that .Net framework is installed, but not sure what else to check here. Thanks in advance for any help.
Turns out the version was the issue. I had mistakenly installed puppet 4 agent, while the server is puppet 7.
