[salt-users] Windows MSI installer for salt minion

[Jeff Clay]

I'm not sure who manages or creates the packages in
http://docs.saltstack.com/downloads/ but would it possible to create
salt-minion MSI files as well? I'm not familiar with NSIS or WIX
personally, I would rather the task be done by someone who knows the build
environment. MSI installers would be very beneficial for deploying
throughout Windows organizations using active directory. I wouldn't mind
setting up the build environment (as described here
http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/installation/windows.html ) and
updating the downloads section whenever a new build is released if someone
else knew what to do in WIX to make it work reliably.

Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

We're actually in the process of adding msi's to our build process right
now. Hopefully we'll have initial msi's for testing in a week or two.
