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?
