I'm pretty sure they don't pay you enough, Andy. Once again, this did the
trick. Now, much more happens before it comes to a grinding halt, but grinding
halt it continues to come to. The initial warnings are these:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/vcl/bin/../lib/VCL/Module/OS/Windows.pm line 3666 (#1)
(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation
you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your
program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily
appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is
usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to
the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your
program.

I'm not actually sure how bad those warning are. The process keeps going for a
while, with various additional warnings, some duplicating the above, some
different. Maybe it's worth posting the warnings that come towards the end:

I set the two network connections up on the vm as per the documentation here:

I'm not sure how important it was to create both interfaces, but hopefully I
did it right.
So, I'm pretty sure the end of the tunnel is getting closer, but I'm still not

again for all the help you're giving me.)
