Issue/Introduction

After installation of salt minion on Windows machine unable to find config files. 

 

Environment

Aria Automation Config 

Resolution

After upgrade to 3004 and above the default installation path is C:\Program Files\Salt Project\Salt directory path.  The install directory stores Salt binary data.

Installer  also creates a second directory in C:\ProgramData\Salt Project\Salt called the config directory. The config directory is where Salt stores non-binary data such as configuration files, logs, and the cache. This path cannot be customized.
