Silently fails installing IIS-ASPNET45 on Win2012 due to 64-bit DISM issues

[jkoberg]

Attempting to install IIS-ASPNET45 via Chef recipe on a freshly-bootstrapped stock Windows 2012 AMI.

I get the following text in the log:

Error: 11

You cannot service a running 64-bit operating system with a 32-bit version of DISM.
Please use the version of DISM that corresponds to your computer's architecture.

The entire run is at http://pastebin.com/hXn14VPg and shows the command leading to that error at line 43.

The provider just needs to use the sysnative dism command to fix this, because Chef is running under a 32-bit Ruby on Windows. Here's how we do it:

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/windows/blob/master/libraries/windows_helper.rb#L34

And then we use locate_sysnative_cmd("dism.exe") to get the right dism.exe.

Alternatively, we can switch to using the "batch" resource rather than "execute" inside the actions - doing this on a fork at the moment & seems to work (no PR yet as incomplete). Unfortunately Mixlib::Shellout doesn't seem to have a similar ability, but isn't so crucial.
