If you have Docker for Windows the simplest way might be cross compile in a container.
Go to the directory where you have packer checked out and run something like: docker run -v %PWD%:/usr/src/packer -w /usr/src/packer golang:1.8 bash -c XC_ARCH=amd64 XC_OS=windows make dev This should give you a Windows binary somewhere under pkg. I don't have access to a computer so I haven't tested the above but it should be close to correct.
