We manage packages here https://github.com/example42/puppet-tp/blob/master/manifests/install.pp#L241 this should be enough to manage packages on Windows , with or without Chocolatey, if there's the relevant data in TinyData.

Services are managed here: https://github.com/example42/puppet-tp/blob/master/manifests/install.pp#L252 and also this should be enough to manage services under Windows.

Files are managed in different places, in the main tp::conf define we should have whataver is needed to manafe configuration files under Windows: https://github.com/example42/puppet-tp/blob/master/manifests/conf.pp#L324

So, basically, Windows support should already be possible with tp, at least for the core tp::install, tp::conf and tp::dir defines. It's proably mostly a matter of having the correct relevant tinydata.

Tp uses standard package service and file resource types. As long as correct tinydata is present (and chocolatey is used) Windows is supported. Note anyway that the tp command, which can be optionally installed on a system, doesn't work on Windows.
