Currently, the installation wizard more or less silently installs third-party software (Boxstarter + Chocolatey). This adds some text to the MSI installation dialog and to the Boxstarter installation script.

@joaocgreis are you sure we don't need to show some license or EULA?

@refack I'm never too sure about licenses. But we can add a note, I'll look into that.
