Exception on second client run for windows_package resource

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi,

I have defined the following resource in my recipe:

Install the WebDeploy msi

windows_package "WebDeploy" do
source "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}/WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi"
end

This succeeds upon the first run, but throws an error on any subsequent
runs:

I'm not supposed to write my own guard, am I?

Thanks in advance,
