Thanks for your reply and explaining {{.script}.
I don't sh, I have just installed CMDER but not sure what to do next to be
honest.. not being a linux guru
do i have to run the packer commands from this? if so wouldn't they be
completely different? i currently run using powershell
Example:
$env:PACKER_ESXI_VNC_PROBE_TIMEOUT="30s"
$env:PACKER_LOG="1"
$env:PACKER_LOG_PATH="packerlog.txt"
Start-Process c:\packer\packer_config\packer.exe -ArgumentList "build
-var-file esxi_variables.json windowsonesxi4.json" -Wait -NoNewWindow
