  • Initially I also wondered why it hangs (btw, I'm on Linux). In my case it was working fine (no hangs), but virtualbox was in headless mode and I didn't see any activity. In your template file, try adding "headless": false in virtualbox builder and see what happens. Please report back.

Packer currently requires that an SSH server is installed and running in the guest OS (virtual machine).



Edit Autounattend.xml and add the command that installs OpenSSH. Make sure it's the last command and that the Order is correct.



Reference:
https://github.com/joefitzgerald/packer-windows/issues/141#issuecomment-82056372



For an example command and script that installs OpenSSH, see https://github.com/joefitzgerald/packer-windows/blob/master/answer_files/7/Autounattend.xml and https://github.com/joefitzgerald/packer-windows/blob/develop/scripts/openssh.ps1
