Answer
For file management, there’s a salt module for that. It works pretty good: http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.file.html
'c:\path\to\folder':
- file.recurse:
- source: salt://path/to/files/on/server
To run the executable – take a look at the cmd state: http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.cmd.html
'c:\path\to\executable':
cmd.run
