I think vagrant needs a bundle of Vagrant, git-bash, and virtualbox to get new users started. Maybe this can be a meta package for chocolatey or get-package? I dont have a windows box myself to try this. any windows users?

​There is bills-kitchen, which is sort of this, but a little more, yet without virtualbox:

It's not en par with the latest Vagrant / ChefDK versions yet... (i need a bit more spare time ;-))

Cheers, Torben​

wow! thats a lot, and a lot to maintain. should be easier when windows finally joins the rest of the internet in packaging.

As you point out yourself, you could easily accomplish this using Chocolatey in a singl script with or without Boxstarter. For Virtualbox, it's also important to install the guest extensions package at the same version as the main install.
