Which formula are you speaking of? This one?

https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/splunkforwarder-formula

The example pillar references a deb file which is package format for Debian family of linux distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Cruncbang, Mint, etc.)

One of the biggest changes you'll need to make are the paths:

  file.managed:
    - name:  C:\Temp\zzz_config_base.zip

  file.managed:
    - name:  /tmp/some/posix/path/
zzz_config_base.zip

You could browse through some of the other formulas and use them as jumping off points.

I would also suggest the following minimum rules of thumb with regards to automation

First:  Do it by hand at least once and document the process before trying to automate it.

Second: Test the document by having someone else unfamiliar with the process do it by hand from your documentation noting any required changes to the document.

Third: Automate what you documented and tested.
