What You Are Seeing?

The bootstrapper.ps1 script is not available anymore for download from https://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1

What is Expected?

Have the script available online at the forementionned url as it has been for many years.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

  1. execute command:

. { iwr -useb http://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1 } | iex; get-boxstarter -Force

you'll get the following result:

iwr : The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

@jumar please accept my apologies regarding this!

Yesterday we moved the Boxstarter website over to new infrastructure, and we believed that everything had been moved over correctly, but looks like this has been miised.

This script should now be back in place.

Please let us know if you run into any other issues with the site in the new location.
