This may be related to #16656. Can you test against 2014.1.12 please?

[emmellee]

Unfortunately I won't be able to do that on my masterless windows minions without a 2012.1.12 windows install executable. I don't have the resources to extract directly from github repo. Will the windows installation page have the 2012.1.12 version available soon?

[emmellee]

*2014.1.12

[rallytime]

Thanks for the update @emmellee! We had a regression in 2014.1.11 that affected masterless pillars which was fixed it in 2014.1.12. Unfortunately, there was a problem with salt-cloud in 2014.1.12, so we had to start the testing/packaging process over. 2014.1.13 is forth-coming with the fix for this regression and for salt-cloud as soon as we have the packages ready to go.

[rallytime]

@emmellee Have you had a chance to test this on 2014.1.13?

[emmellee]

Unfortunately, I see only 2014.1.11 windows installer available...

Oh! Are you checking on the docs? We'll fix that link! In the mean time, you can grab those packages from: http://docs.saltstack.com/downloads/

[rallytime]

@emmellee I've updated the docs with #17216. Those links will show up within the next day or so. Sorry for the confusion there!

[emmellee]

Thank you for that link, Nicole. I wasn't aware of it - I've always used http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/installation/windows.html

I'll try 2014.1.13 as you suggest...

No problem! Let us know what you find out!

[rallytime]

Oh, there are also 2014.7.0 windows packages available at that link as well, if you wanted to try that one instead.

[rallytime]

@emmellee just a bump here. Were you able to try a newer version?

[emmellee]

I tried installing 2014.7.0 and ran into issue number 19666

[emmellee]

i also tried 2014.1.13 which also unpacked files to the root of my D: drive. I've uninstalled both, deleted the files, and reverted to 2014.1.1 which does not unpack files to the root of my D: drive.

[rallytime]

@emmellee Ah, sorry I did not see your latest comments here. We're currently on release 2014.7.2 now - any chance you've given that a try yet? The releases on the 2014.7 branch have been MUCH more stable than the 2014.1 releases.

[rallytime]

I am going to close this since we haven't heard back. If this remains a problem on newer releases, please leave a comment and we will be glad to give this another go.
