Execute on an administrator prompt:

START http://boxstarter.org/package/nr/url?RAW_CINST_FILE_URL

Example:
START http://boxstarter.org/package/nr/url?https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Laoujin/12f5d2f76d51ee6c0a49/raw/1e3a18f93789c6ca35e2a30383f7d3840c669d6b/boxstarter

ATTN: Internet Explorer needs to be the default browser (which it usually is after a clean install...).
