+echo Tools for Node.js Native Modules Installation Script
+echo ====================================================
+echo.
+echo This Boxstarter script will install Python and the Visual Studio Build Tools,
+echo necessary to compile Node.js native modules. All necessary Windows updates
+echo will also be installed.
+echo.
+echo This will require about 3 Gb of free disk space, plus any space necessary to
+echo install Windows updates.
+echo.
+echo This will take a while to run. Your computer may reboot during the
+echo installation, and will resume automatically.
+echo.
+echo Please close all open programs for the duration of the installation.
+echo.
+echo You can close this window to stop now. This script can be invoked from the
+echo Start menu. Detailed instructions to install these tools manually are
+echo available at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
+echo.
