Doing something wrong here. It hangs at this part.

Package Splunk

            Ensure = 'Present'
            Name = 'UniversalForwarder'

We tried this in the PowerShell team, but we’re blocked due to not being able to register with Splunk right now.
Can you try installing the MSI outside of Package Management, and describe what you are seeing?

Thank you

When I execute the command in powershell it pops up the msiexec help box. If I switch to cmd it installs. I removed the /i and /quiet from the arguments as dsc automatically includes them.

msiexec popup

PS C:\Windows\system32> msiexec.exe /i c:\windows\temp\splunk.msi INSTALLDIR=“c:\program files\SplunkUniversalForwarder”

installs quietly
