Chocolatey install fails on Windows 7 x86 trial

[obilodeau]

Another .Net 4.0 installer error on chocolatey install:

ERROR: .NET Framework install failed with exit code '5'.

It's not the same issue as #31 even though it is very similar. Exit code 5 has been associated with permissions errors online.

When done manually over the RDP session, error is different: .Net 4.0 installs successfully but trying to use choco yields a .Net missing error.

But you can see that .Net successfully installed

Using elevated_user the problem is different now...

[obilodeau]

This was fixed by a combination of using elevated_user and rebooting the VM after chocolatey's install. Fix is in master now that we've merged Windows 7 trial support #64.
