I was able to get this to work by using a packer.py (connection plugin) 
however only one of my Tasks will work when running a playbook this way. 
It's a task to create a local directory. Any other task, like to download a 
file from s3 or run windows updates will fail with a generic error. I'm 
guessing you must be limited in the tasks/ansible modules you can run from 
Packer? or maybe there is something additional you need to add to make them 
work?
