@yodurr @ferventcoder @mwrock what are your thoughts on this:

https://github.com/fireeye/flare-vm

I thought it might be useful to call this out as another example of how to set up a machine.

Is the motivation to show how to invoke a boxstarter script via script:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
. { iwr -useb http://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1 } | iex; get-boxstarter -Force
Install-BoxstarterPackage -PackageName https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fireeye/flare-vm/master/flarevm_malware.ps1

instead of the click once launcher?

I think that's a good idea. Especially to get around non IE/Edge browser issues or needing a scripted install.

I was thinking more around showing another example of setting up another VM for a specific purpose, in this case for malware analysis and investigation. The installation issue with non IE/Edge browsers we definitely need to capture though, and provide information about how to run the installation without click once.
