I'm evalutating Puppet for a client and we are writing manifests for both Linux and Windows. Since a majort part of managing Windows is adding/removing features using the puppetlabs/dism module from PuppetForge is tempting.

But looking at the code it looks as if this module only works for 32-bit Windows. At least my experience is that you can not use the dism tool to service a running 64-bit system with the 32-bit version of dism.

Any toughts on this?

It works with 64bit Windows. See: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-dism/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/dism/dism.rb#L7-L13
