+.SYNOPSIS
+    A simple Powershell script to download and install a salt minion on windows.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    The script will download the official salt package from saltstack. It will
+    install a specific package version and accept parameters for the master and
+    minion ids. Finally, it can stop and set the windows service to "manual" for
+    local testing.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./bootstrap-salt.ps1
+    Runs without any parameters. Uses all the default values/settings.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./bootstrap-salt.ps1 -version 2015.4.1-3
+    Specifies a particular version of the installer.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./bootstrap-salt.ps1 -runservice false
+    Specifies the salt-minion service to stop and be set to manual. Useful for
+    testing locally from the command line with the --local switch
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./bootstrap-salt.ps1 -minion minion-box -master master-box
+    Specifies the minion and master ids in the minion config. Defaults to the
+    installer values of host name for the minion id and "salt" for the master.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    ./bootstrap-salt.ps1 -minion minion-box -master master-box -version 2015.5.2 -runservice false
+    Specifies all the optional parameters in no particular order.
+
+.PARAMETER version
+    Default version defined in this script.
+
+.PARAMETER runservice
+    Boolean flag to start or stop the minion service. True will start the minion
+    service. False will stop the minion service and set it to "manual". The
+    installer starts it by default.
+
+.PARAMETER minion
+    Name of the minion being installed on this host. Installer defaults to the
+    host name.
+
+.PARAMETER master
+    Name or IP of the master server. Installer defaults to "salt".
+
+.PARAMETER repourl
+    URL to the windows packages. Default is "https://repo.saltstack.com/windows"
+
+.NOTES
+    All of the parameters are optional. The default should be the latest
+    version. The architecture is dynamically determined by the script.
