I am trying to install Mcafee agent on windows box using this resource:
windows_package ‘Mcafee’ do
source 'FramePkg.exe’
action :install
installer_type :custom
options '/install=agent /silent’
end

chef-client run showing it installed the agent but i dont see it on the machine under programs and features?
