Install developer pre-requisites using Chocolatey

[ibuchanan]

As a developer, I want to install the development pre-requisites quickly and easily so that I can start making code changes to the VS Client.

Acceptance Criteria:

• We have a script that loads the pre-requisites:
  • git
  • Visual Studio 2012 Professional
  • VS2012SDK
• We just reference the script in the README (so we don't maintain the list in 2 places).

Here's what I was able to do during our DevOps woprkshops, after installing Chocolatety itself:

cinst git
cinst VisualStudio2012Professional
cinst VS2012SDK

This put git, Studio, and the SDK itself into Windows 7 virtual machine.

Valentin noticed that on a clean box, you need to install .NET 4 or greater first, or else you get this kind of error:

There's some related discussion on this here:

But, it seems odd that Chocolatey itself even installed without 4.0, see the requirements section here:

How to Test

I have updated the README.md and also added:

• install_chocolatey.bat -- installs Chocolatey using the Powershell junk that you normally have to manually copy and paste from the web site
• install_dev_tools.bat -- just calls cinst packages.config

The instructions and the commands are ready for testing.
