Conversation
Clarify the behavior of what Boxstarter may do when it runs on a box to install all the necessary tools so that there are no surprises to the end user when the script is run. Currently there is no interface that warns the user that Boxstarter will reboot the machine possibly multiple times depending on how many dependencies need to be installed and doesn't mention a need to disable UAC. For folks who see what may look like a reboot loop, we feel it is necessary to make them aware that UAC will be disabled and they will need to take action to re-enable UAC manually if they interfere/stop the script from finishing.

@nodejs/release @nodejs/lts @nodejs/tsc I've been reading on and off about the changes to our MSI installed biting people. I know this is being figured out on master but we really can't be having this continue to bite people on LTS, especially if they are attempting to update to the security release. This small release, which I would like to get out tomorrow, only lands the changes necessary to revert the installer changes, it landed in #24344. My plan is to release this tomorrow, likely earlier in the day. Apologies for the rush on this but I genuinely don't think we should be waiting any longer on this. I'm going to kick off all the bits and if there are no objections in the next 11 hours I plan to do this release at 11:00am ET. |

@MylesBorins thanks for making a release to move this forward.
#24677 is open for master and should fix all the issues we've seen so far.

LGTM, except that I don't really like having commits that introduce changes just to undo them again. But if backports without those two is really hard then it's your call.
@joaocgreis please weigh in here, your 👍 on an expedited release would be appreciated, alternatively if you don't think it's necessary to rush that would also be good to hear. You're much better connected to the Windows world than most of us.

@rvagg I could squash them all into one commit but I didn't want to land stuff that hadn't been reviewed. |

@rvagg @MylesBorins to be clear, please go ahead with this. It will be good to get this out in a release as soon as possible. |
