@twangboy : Found the WindowsError, it was while installing JRE |
|
In addition, I have finally figured out that the 'silent fail' that I thought was occurring was really just Salt saying "Already installed" as demonstrated below (Same behavior on Linux). Isn't it supposed to say something like "Already Installed"? Am I dreaming that up or did it used to be that way? |

With your regards to the empty dictionary... That is a valid return in Salt. It was confusing to me at first when I was learning salt. I agree, coming from Windows world, I would expect to see something saying that it was successful and already installed... I think I had some code in at one point to that effect. But it's a change to the API, so I had to revert it. This brings Salt on Windows behavior in line with Salt on Linux. |

It should only hit that code if you're doing some sort of |
|
@twangboy here is the package sls. The user is 'csuser' which is a local admin on the machine. There is no 'runas' in the package sls, but in the state file from which it is called.. As an aside, any critique on how I am making these calls or organizing things would be appreciated as well. |
|
The runas is required because the "SYSTEM" user which salt runs as by default does not have access to the gui and so the installer hangs even though we specifically say to run silent (no gui interactions). |
|
Looks like you have to use a config file to install silently with jre8. The To do that properly, you'll need to host the binary with the config and use the Populate config file ( Package definition State You may have to experiment a little to get the path to the config right. It may not like Something like that |
|
This worked and I am able to get rid of the 'runas'. Does this mean the issue is resolved or we just don't care anymore because I'm not using 'runas'? :) New package.sls Config File: And the install state goes to your example.. |
|
Maybe it was throwing the error because I was running the state from salt-call as the same admin that the 'runas' uses. Could that be it? |
|
You can run salt-call by hand as any one with windows admin to install software. Far as I am aware runas on windows needs special windows permissions. You can use salt-call to install software which requires GUI feed back but you need to be logon and run it by hand, so you can interact with the GUI.

@twangboy re: You know where the error is coming from, otherwise you would not have been able to deduce i.e. Is this complete or is there more work to do? |
|
With the biggest part of this issue mitigated it does not look like anyone cares about the rest. I know I don't and I hate to have clutter build up so I am closing this. The only unsolved part is why salt throws the |
Description of Issue

Or in debug mode with a variant of this registry key issue
