Flashing a Nexus 6 with the latest version of Android

I was trying to follow the directions listed here (Google's factory images) for updating my Nexus 6 to the latest Android build and I kept getting an error about the zip file not containing system.img. Well it appears that there is a limitation into the memory size that fastboot will let you use and the flash-all.bat file supplied in the download from Google surpasses that memory limit causing the issue.

I was able to fix this by doing the following:
1) after downloading and unzipping the factory image from Google, you will see another zip file inside. Extract all those files into the same directory:
2) Create a new bat file called flash-it.bat, copy paste the following into that file:
