silent installation of salt minion in windows

[udhay prakash pethakamsetty]

Hi friends, 

i  need  help in silent (unattended) installation of salt-minion in windows. 

i tried the following, but, still it is asking Y/N

Salt-Minion-2015.8.7-AMD64-Setup.exe /S /master=salt-uday.epiengcloud.com /minion-name=udhayLappy /start-service=0

Then, 

Salt-Minion-2015.8.7-AMD64-Setup.exe /S /v"Y" /master=salt-uday.epiengcloud.com /minion-name=udhayLappy /start-service=0

and, also the /passive option and /qn

But, it is asking Y/N. 

Can someone help me

I am able to run the installer with the /S switch to install silently.

Could you post a screen shot of the yes/no dialog box you're seeing?

I run this command, and it installs silently:

Salt-Minion-2015.8.7-AMD64-Setup.exe /S /minion-name=%computername% /master=10.0.1.10 /start-service=1

Regards,
Fredrik

oh! it is running if i run the "CMD as Administrator".  How to achieve the same with automation.

Salt-Minion-2015.8.7-AMD64-Setup.exe -U /S /master=salt-uday.com /minion-name=udhayLappy /start-service=0

Hey! WHAT is the best way to run a Command as admin in windows.

I tried cmd.run with runas: administrator, But, the file is not executing. In the minion, the stderror is "permission denied".

I would open a command prompt as administrator and launch the executable from there.

1. Click the Windows orb or the start menu
2. Type `cmd`
3. Right click the link that says something like `command prompt'
4. Select 'Run as administrator'.

yes! lately i learned that executing any command from the salt-master, will inturn, execute them as admin in the minion..

thank you for the reply.
