+* `source`: *Required.* Locates the SQL Server installer. Valid options: a string containing the path to an executable. Puppet must have permission to execute the installer.

 Please note that if an option is set in both its own specific parameter and `install_switches`, the specifically named parameter takes precedence. For example, if you set the product key in both `pid` and in `install_switches`, SQL Server honors the `pid` parameter.
