Vagrant Hostsupdater Requires Admin
VagrantPress and VVV use the Vagrant::Hostsupdater plugin to allow you to access your development WordPress sites at a friendlier URL (e.g. http://vagrantpress.dev instead of http://localhost:8080). On Windows machines, the plugin updates the file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, but modifying this files requires admin access. You must run your shell as an administrator for the plugin to be able to update this file when you vagrant up. BONUS: I’ve seen a lot of people installing Cygwin or Putty just to be able to use Vagrant on Windows (since it requires SSH)....
