I tried a few things with inline, but I couldn't get that to work.
When using a local .cmd file, calling the script works with the following
entry:
{
"type":"shell-local",
"execute_command": "cmd.exe /c {{.Script}}",
"script": "createovf.cmd"
}
and the script is in the packer dir .\createovf.cmd
"\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\OVFTool\ovftool.exe"
source/vmware-iso/packer-centos-7-x86_64.vmx export-vmware-ovf
