Looks good! Questions:

• Why sublimetext2 and not SublimeText3?
• Do you need DotNet4.5 after VisualStudio2013Professional?

@adamralph - DotNet4.5 is meant to install 4.5.2 but it fails.

VisualStudio2013Professional, Firefox and postgit also fail, they get the same error:

The term 'true' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Command 'install' failed (sometimes this indicates a partial failure). Additional info/packages: firefox
