Microsoft introduced the second version of the Linux Subsystem in the latest version 2004 of Windows 10. The WSL 2 allows Linux to run natively using a lightweight Virtual Machine on top of Windows 10 and is a significant step up from the OG WSL, which didn't include the Linux kernel. Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1: KB893803 version 1.0 (April 11, 2005) Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1: KB893803 version 2.0 (May 12, 2005) Windows Installer 3.1 (v2) addresses the issue that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article. For users running previous version of Windows such as Windows 7, Windows 8.0 or Windows 8.1, you will need to purchase a license for the Windows 10, if you did not take advantage of the free upgrade offer (you might still be able to get it for free).

Salt has full support for running the Salt minion on Windows. You must connectWindows Salt minions to a Salt master on a supported operating system tocontrol your Salt Minions.

Many of the standard Salt modules have been ported to work on Windows and manyof the Salt States currently work on Windows as well.

Windows Installer Version 2017

Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository¶

Skyblock mac. Latest stable build from the selected branch:

Python3 x86: Salt-Minion-3002.2-x86-Setup.exe | md5

Python3 AMD64: Salt-Minion-3002.2-AMD64-Setup.exe | md5

The output of md5summinionexe> should match the contents of thecorresponding md5 file.

There are installers available for Python 3. Starting with Salt 3001, onlyPython 3 builds of the Windows Salt Minion will be built. Python 2 buildsexist for earlier Salt Minion versions.

Note

Archived builds from unsupported branches:

Note

The installation executable installs dependencies that the Salt minionrequires.

The 64bit and 32bit installers have been tested on Windows 8.1, Windows Server2012 R2, Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019. 32bitinstallers have only been tested on 64bit systems. Please file a bug report onour GitHub repo if issues for other platforms are found.

The installer will detect previous installations of Salt and ask if you wouldlike to remove them. Clicking OK will remove the Salt binaries and related filesbut leave any existing config, cache, and PKI information. Adobe acrobat alternative mac.

Salt Minion Installation¶

If the system is missing the appropriate version of the Visual C++Redistributable (vcredist) the user will be prompted to install it. Click OKto install the vcredist. Click Cancel to abort the installation withoutmaking modifications to the system.

If Salt is already installed on the system the user will be prompted to removethe previous installation. Click OK to uninstall Salt without removing theconfiguration, PKI information, or cached files. Click Cancel to abort theinstallation before making any modifications to the system.

After the Welcome and the License Agreement, the installer asks for two bits ofinformation to configure the minion; the master hostname and the minion name.The installer will update the minion config with these options.

If the installer finds an existing minion config file, these fields will bepopulated with values from the existing config, but they will be grayed out.There will also be a checkbox to use the existing config. If you continue, theexisting config will be used. If the checkbox is unchecked, default values aredisplayed and can be changed. If you continue, the existing config file inc:saltconf will be removed along with the c:saltconfminion.ddirectory. The values entered will be used with the default config.

The final page allows you to start the minion service and optionally change itsstartup type. By default, the minion is set to Automatic. You can change theminion start type to Automatic(DelayedStart) by checking the 'DelayedStart' checkbox.

Note

Highstates that require a reboot may fail after reboot because saltcontinues the highstate before Windows has finished the booting process.This can be fixed by changing the startup type to 'Automatic (DelayedStart)'. The drawback is that it may increase the time it takes for the'salt-minion' service to actually start.

The salt-minion service will appear in the Windows Service Manager and canbe managed there or from the command line like any other Windows service.

Installation Prerequisites¶

Most Salt functionality should work just fine right out of the box. A few Saltmodules rely on PowerShell. The minimum version of PowerShell required for Saltis version 3. If you intend to work with DSC then Powershell version 5 is theminimum.

Silent Installer Options¶

The installer can be run silently by providing the /S option at the commandline. The installer also accepts the following options for configuring the SaltMinion silently:

Note

/start-service has been deprecated but will continue to function asexpected for the time being.

Note

/default-config and /custom-config= will backup an existing configif found. A timestamp and a .bak extension will be added. That includesthe minion file and the minion.d directory.

Here are some examples of using the silent installer:

Running the Salt Minion on Windows as an Unprivileged User¶

Building and Developing on Windows¶

This document will explain how to set up a development environment for Salt onWindows. The development environment allows you to work with the source code tocustomize or fix bugs. It will also allow you to build your own installation.

There are several scripts to automate creating a Windows installer as well assetting up an environment that facilitates developing and troubleshooting Saltcode. They are located in the pkgwindows directory in the Salt repo(here).

Scripts:¶

Note

The build.bat and build_pkg.bat scripts both accept a parameter tospecify the version of Salt that will be displayed in the Windows installer.If no version is passed, the version will be determined using git.

Both scripts also accept an additional parameter to specify the version ofPython to use. The default is 2.

Prerequisite Software¶

The only prerequisite is Git for Windows.

Create a Build Environment¶

1. Working Directory¶

Create a Salt-Dev directory on the root of C:. This will be our workingdirectory. Navigate to Salt-Dev and clone theSalt repo from GitHub.

Open a command line and type:

Go into the salt directory and checkout the version of salt to work with(2016.3 or higher).

2. Setup the Python Environment¶

Navigate to the pkgwindows directory and execute the build_env.ps1PowerShell script.

Note

You can also do this from Explorer by navigating to the pkgwindowsdirectory, right clicking the build_env_2.ps1 powershell script andselecting Run with PowerShell

This will download and install Python 2 with all the dependencies needed todevelop and build Salt.

Note

If you get an error or the script fails to run you may need to change theexecution policy. Open a powershell window and type the following command:

3. Salt in Editable Mode¶

Editable mode allows you to more easily modify and test the source code. Formore information see the Pip documentation.

Navigate to the root of the salt directory and install Salt in editable modewith pip

Note

The . is important

Note

If pip is not recognized, you may need to restart your shell to get theupdated path

Note

Windows Installer Version 2.0

If pip is still not recognized make sure that the Python Scripts folderis in the System %PATH%. (C:Python2Scripts)

Windows Installer Version 2013

4. Setup Salt Configuration¶

Salt requires a minion configuration file and a few other directories. Thedefault config file is named minion located in C:saltconf. Theeasiest way to set this up is to copy the contents of thesaltpkgwindowsbuildenv directory to C:salt.

Now go into the C:saltconf directory and edit the minion config file namedminion (no extension). You need to configure the master and id parameters inthis file. Edit the following lines:

Create a Windows Installer¶

To create a Windows installer, follow steps 1 and 2 fromCreate a Build Environment above. Then proceedto 3 below:

3. Install Salt¶

To create the installer for Window we install Salt using Python instead of pip.Navigate to the root salt directory and install Salt.

4. Create the Windows Installer¶

Navigate to the pkgwindows directory and run the build_pkg.batwith the build version (2017.7.2) and the Python version as parameters.

Note

If no version is passed, the build_pkg.bat will guess the version numberusing git. If the python version is not passed, the default is 2.

Creating a Windows Installer: Alternate Method (Easier)¶

Check Windows Installer Version

Clone the Salt repo from GitHub into thedirectory of your choice. We're going to use Salt-Dev.

Go into the salt directory and checkout the version of Salt you want tobuild.

Then navigate to pkgwindows and run the build.bat script with theversion you're building.

This will install everything needed to build a Windows installer for Salt usingPython 3. The binary will be in the saltpkgwindowsinstaller directory.

Testing the Salt minion¶

1. Create the directory C:salt (if it doesn't exist already)

2. Copy the example conf and var directories from

   pkgwindowsbuildenv into C:salt

3. Edit C:saltconfminion

4. Start the salt-minion

5. On the salt-master accept the new minion's key

   This accepts all unaccepted keys. If you're concerned about security justaccept the key for this specific minion.

6. Test that your minion is responding

   On the salt-master run:

You should get the following response: {'yourminionhostname':True}

Packages Management Under Windows 2003¶

Download Windows Installer For Windows 10

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP have both reached End of Support. Though Saltis not officially supported on operating systems that are EoL, somefunctionality may continue to work.

On Windows Server 2003, you need to install optional component 'WMI WindowsInstaller Provider' to get a full list of installed packages. If you don't havethis, salt-minion can't report some installed software.
