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. Refs: nodejs#22645 Refs: nodejs#22988

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

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This should go at the end of the line above, and actually fits there nicely. It makes sense to me to keep the line above (that goes next to the checkbox) about automatic installation and this one about pointing users to instructions to install manually.

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