This error code is being thrown in Boxstarter.Chocolatey/Chocolatey.ps1 line: 168

It appears boxstarter is locally installing an older version of chocolatey. I had to modify some flags in the files/bootstrapper.ps1 script for cholocately (newest) version to install and allow the installation of boxstarter.

Note: I appear to get a seperate error if I include:
Install-WindowsUpdate -acceptEula in the boxstarter resource

C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\boxstarter\boxstarter.WinConfig\Install-WindowsUpdate.ps1:72 char:35
223 + $Result = $Searcher.Search <<<< ($criteria)

Does windows have to be activated prior to boxstarter allowing the cookbook to work?
