WindowsProcess DSC resource fails intermittently with "Failed to wait for processes to start."
Steps to reproduce
This is about WindowsProcess DSC resource that we are using to invoke an exe. The configuration is pretty straightforward and is shared below. If I look at my application (exe) logs it starts and completes successfully within milliseconds. I am not sure why DSC thinks the process took a while to start. Any pointers appreciated.
WindowsProcess MyResource
{
Ensure = "Present"
Path = <full path to exe on local disk>
Arguments = "<exe command line arguments>"
DependsOn = "<a xRemoteFile resource that completes reliably>"
}
Expected behavior
The exe is invoked and it completes.
Actual behavior
Failure starting process matching path 'C:\\<full path to application>.exe'. Message: Failed to wait for processes to start."
Environment data
