Install Salt using Salt bootstrap script #182
Conversation
Official bootstrap script written in Powershell is used. `CM_OPTIONS` are passed as arguments (see `README.md`). PS: old way of installing Salt was limited and no longer works.

I'll look at getting this merged after the holidays when I have access to my saltstack boxes to test. That ok? |

Thanks for your PR. Other than the preservation of the CM_VERSION functionality, I think this PR is good-to-go.

Can we include the -version parameter here wth %CM_VERSION% so that we still expose that capability (to choose version) to users?
I think to avoid needing a conditional for the case of an undefined CM_VERSION, we can use "Latest" but I'll leave that up to you on whether or not you want to use a conditional for calling bootstrap-salt with an undefined CM_VERSION, or a conditional to set CM_VERSION to Latest if it's undefined.

Please see the comment in the review for script/cmtool.bat. I think we might be able to still preserve the functionality of allowing the user to set the salt version via CM_VERSION.

Hey @rominf, let me know if you don't have time to incorporate these changes and I'll work on integrating them into your PR. Now that I can help maintain this repo, PRs like this that fix busted functionality are high on my priority list. Thanks for your patience, good sir! |

I noticed that each of the configuration management tools have a way of passing options to them ( I also added the changes to explicitly specify the These have been consolidated into PR #201. As a result I'm marking this as superseded and will close this PR once #201 gets merged. Thanks for your contribution good sir! |
