Boxstarter not installed by default recipe

[ghost]

Hi Matt,

I noticed that boxstarter fails to install when using this cookbook because the following commands in bootstrapper.ps1 ask the user for confirmation and the default answer is "no":

cinst boxstarter.Common @versionArg -Force
cinst boxstarter.winconfig @versionArg -Force
cinst boxstarter.bootstrapper @versionArg -Force
cinst boxstarter.chocolatey @versionArg -Force

Here is a snippet from the choco log on the guest:

(it's the same for boxstarter.chocolatey, boxstarter.winconfig, and boxstarter.bootstrap)

My workaround was to add a '-y' switch to all cinst commands.

What makes this issue much more confusing - and harder to identify - is that the "kitchen converge" command with run-list=recipe[boxstarter::default] doesn't report any failures:

Please take a look - thanks!

Yes I need to update this cookbook since the new chocolatey was released. Hope to get to it soon.
