@jdalton thanks! Updated. |

I like the type yes to confirm, but this does not mention the UAC bit - I would like to see the wording from #24000 with this yes prompt |
Contributor

Also I missed this was here on initial search and filed my own PR - apologies on that. We would like the wording and notes from the other PR brought into here to address that UAC will be disabled and make the user aware of what they will need to do should they stop the process instead of letting it finish |
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.

@ferventcoder your PR adds a lot of good info, thanks for it! I included it here, let me know if this was not what you had in mind. I took the opportunity to change the commit message (subsystem and 72-col lines) and added a fixup addressing feedback from @Trott. I also moved my prompt to the new screen you created. Let me know if there's any change you'd like to make. |

Perhaps we can pull these two lines out since you reference this below.

Does this handle case sensitivity? You are asking for "YES", and this accepts "yes"

The /i switch is for ignoring case. I used uppercase above to make it obvious that only yes needs to be typed, but the user can type in any case.

Since the script to install tools for native modules (#22645) was included in releases, we've got several comments from users surprised by reboots.
This adds a more visible warning and a prompt to lessen the probability of users skipping ahead without reading.
