Caveat

Vagrant will not exit cleanly after running the "shell provisioner" to provision couchbase (no idea why as of yet) so you need to ctrl+c twice quickly after the above output is complete.

Thank you, David.
This vagrant also works on my Windows 8 host.
Just create a folder, download the .vagrant file into it manually, and run in command line:
set COUCHBASE_HOST=192.168.2.254
vagrant up

Also I ran command line with admin rights.
