win: clarify Boxstarter behavior on install tools

2018-11-04T02:34:57+00:00

Clarify the behavior of what Boxstarter may do when it runs on a box
to install all the necessary tools so that there are no surprises to
the end user when the script is run.

Currently there is no interface that warns the user that Boxstarter
will reboot the machine possibly multiple times depending on how many
dependencies need to be installed and doesn't mention a need to disable
UAC. For folks who see what may look like a reboot loop, we feel it is
necessary to make them aware that UAC will be disabled and they will
need to take action to re-enable UAC manually if they interfere/stop
the script from finishing.

win,msi: install Boxstarter from elevated shell

2018-09-26T17:39:43+00:00

Boxstarter asks for elevation to install packages, but not to install
Boxstarter itself. Thus, run all the commands from an elevated
PowerShell.

win,msi: highlight installation of 3rd-party tools

2018-09-24T21:26:18+00:00

Currently, the installation wizard more or less silently installs
third-party software (Boxstarter + Chocolatey). This adds some text
to the MSI installation dialog and to the Boxstarter installation
script.
