Hi James,
Coming back online after a couple days away so apologies if you've already
figured this out and I'm being redundant.
The operation definitely depends on sh being installed, so installing that
will very likely solve your issue.
{{.Script}} is a Packer internal variable that references the location of
the script in the tmp folder on the guest vm. This is implied in the docs,
but it could probably be clearer that you can actually use {{.Script}} in
your packer template as a way of referring to that script's absolute path.
I'm guessing the reason the code Rickard pasted isn't working for you "out
of the box" is because you don't have shell installed and you didn't apply
the diff from my referenced comment beforehand
(https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/compare/shell_4140)? As you can see in
there, Packer currently hardcodes the command as assuming you've got shell:
`localCmd := exec.Command("sh", "-c", cmd.Command)`.
Hope this helps! We've definitely got some kinks to work out on Windows.
