I decided to try a different approach and use Chocolatey <https://chocolatey.org/> to try an install. it errored out, and I've included the command prompt output (chocolatey-screen-error.txt) and the log file in the hope this will provide more detail about the cause of the issue.
I'm attempting to install Vagrant (1.7.4) on Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1 (workstation on a corporate Windows domain). I hope this extra information proves helpful. thanks!
